Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
1) basics/ theory
2) Measurement procedures
3) Data reduction, necessary corrections of raw data
4 ) conclusions

U Pb radioaktiv radiogen
• Rutherford & Soddy: Gesetz des radioaktiven Zerfalls -dN/dt = λ x N λ– Zerfallskonstante (Wahrscheinlichkeit, mit der 1 Atom in bestimmter Zeit zerfällt N – Anzahl radioaktiver Atome t - Zeit
N = N0 e –λt
e – Integrationskonstante (2,718..)
N0 = N + D D = N (e λt – 1)

Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
2) Measurement procedures 1) Conventional U-Pb dating (ID-TIMS)
a) multi-grain dating b) single grain dating
- choose the best grains

Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
- Get rid of zircons or zircon domains with a disturbed U-Pb system: by „Annealing and Chemical Abrasion“ Annealing: heating at 850oC for 48 h

Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
- Get rid of zircons or zircon domains with a disturbed U-Pb system: by „Annealing and Chemical Abrasion“ Annealing: heating at 850oC for 48 h Chemical abrasion: leaching with HF + HNO3 washing the surface of zircons by clean acids and water
- Spiking (ET 535, ET 2535) - Dissolution with HF + HNO3 in bombs (48 – 72 h) - Separate U and Pb from zircons (column chemistry) - Measurement of Pb istope ratios (TIMS) - Measurement of U isotope ratios (TIMS)

3) U-Pb dating by LA-ICPMS (laser ablation and inductively coupled mass spectrometry)
- Prepare polished zircons
- Make CL images
- Measurement (quadrupole or magnetic sector MS)
Kosler & Sylvester (2003)
Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
4) Evaporation (Kober) method: 207Pb/206Pb model ages
- Take the best zircons
- Put into Re-filaments
- Measurement on TIMS with pre-cleaning (pre-heating)

3) Data reduction, corrections of raw data
The measured isotope ratios never correspond to those in zircons!
1. Fractionation of Pb and U isotopes during measurement: „mass bias“
4. Problem of „common Pb“ correction
5. Problem of „Pb loss“
6. Problem of „inherited ages“
2. Gain factor between different cups
3. Different measurement conditions for different samples
M. Tichomirowa
Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
1. Fractionation of Pb and U isotopes during measurement: „mass bias“
High precision U-Pb single grain dating (ID-TIMS)
precision: about ±0,1%
Ca. 60% of the uncertainty of the U-Pb-dating is due to instrumental fractionation
1) Using Spikes with 4 Pb isotopes: ET 2535 = 202Pb + 205Pb + 233U + 235U
Internal precision could be limited to about 0.1 %
2) Intercalibation of this spike by EARTHTIME group
4) Same calculation programme for all laboratories free from the Internet
5) Chemical Abrasion (annealing) – only areas with undisturbed U-Pb –System are dated
3) Very low total blanks (<1pg): important for the correction of common Pb
M. Tichomirowa
2. Gain factor between different cups
Correction usually done by gain calibration.
3. Different measurement conditions for different samples
- Different position of samples
- Changes in working conditions (beam intensity, gas flow, vacuum,…)
Zircon U-Pb dating: comparison of methods
Impossible to correct, the only control are zircon standard values (outliers). Greater influence if measurement is done only with one cup (peak jumping)

4. Common Pb correction
Ratio 206Pb/204Pb (or 204Pb/206Pb) is indicator how much common Pb is obtained during zircon measurement
