Description
This upload contains the 40Ar/39Ar geochronology age determination of sample FH-HV-1 from Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia and was calculated using the ArArCALC freeware. The preferred age of 1.5152 ± 0.0026 Ma is the age plateau and is interpreted as the eruption age of the sample. The sample produced a long and consistant plateau preceeded by low temperature recoil patterns and proceeded by high temperature recoil steps. The age determination was carried out on a sample of basalt (groundmass) in an incremental heating experiment and using the in situ laser heating extraction method. The analyses were run on a ARGUS-VI mass spectrometer and the ages were calculated relative to flux monitor FCT-NM (R98) (4C20-14) (sanidine) with an age of 28.201 ± 0.082 Ma. This sample was collected by Kevin Konrad (Konradke@oregonstate.edu). Sample Description: 1x leach. Sample Treatment: Individual handsample from the Marquesas Islands. . Location Description: Hanavave Bay, Fatu Hiva Island, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lat/Long/Elevation is approximate. . |

Instructions
This ERDA upload contains four separate 40Ar/39Ar age calculation files generated with ArArCALC. Both the XLS and PDF files are for easy viewing in Microsoft Excel or Adobe Acrobat Reader, whereas the AGE file is readable by the ArArCALC software only and the XML file is generated for the GEOCHRON online database project. For full age calculation functionality it is recommended that you open the AGE file in the ArArCALC software that is available as freeware online at http://earthref.org/ArArCALC ... |
