摘要
Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is a common iron-oxide mineral known to incorporate U into its crystal lattice at up to wt% concentrations and has been previously used to date ore formation within iron-oxide copper gold and banded iron formation deposits. However, there has been no detailed evaluation of the potential challenges this novel mineral geochronometer may present for accurate temporal interpretation. We report a multi-technique U-Pb geochronological study comprising laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) and the first isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) procedure and analyses using an in-situ grain micro-sampling technique. We assess intra- and inter-sample data reproducibility, and examine the compatibility of spatial and analytical resolutions to texturally and compositionally diverse samples.
