The 40Ar/39Ar method is a tremendously versatile and powerful geochronometer which has been used to date K-bearing rocks and minerals as young as a few 10’s of thousands of years to the oldest rocks on Earth. Argon for 40Ar/39Ar analysis can be released either by step-heating a sample (single grain or rock aggregate) using a furnace or a defocused laser and by in-situ Laser Ablation of a small ≥ 2

Efficient techniques for mineral separation are important in almost all geochronological studies. From year 2000, we have used the so called “water-based technique (pdf, new tab)” for separation of baddeleyite (and zircon). Baddeleyite is a reliable geochronometer for dating the crystallization of mafic and other silica-undersaturated rocks. The technique is based on the observation that small gra

Palaeomagnetic and mineral magnetic data are used in a wide variety of Earth science disciplines. Reconstructions of the direction and intensity of the Earth's geomagnetic field can be produced from studies of igneous rocks, sediments and ceramic artefacts. These reconstructions can be used to (i) correlate and date geological archives and (ii) help us understand how the geomagnetic field is gener
