Description
This upload contains the 40Ar/39Ar geochronology age determination of sample RR1310-D43-39 from Lau Basin in South Pacific and was calculated using the ArArCALC freeware. The preferred age of 4.59 ± 1.09 Ma is the age plateau and is interpreted as the eruption age of the sample. A relative short, low-mid temperature plateau. The age determination was carried out on a sample of basalt (plagioclase) in an incremental heating experiment and using the bulk 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 (4C10-14) (sanidine) with an age of 28.201 ± 0.082 Ma. This sample was collected by Anthony Koppers (akoppers@ceoas.oregonstate.edu). Sample Description: 1x leach + HF. Sample Treatment: Use this link to download the ArArCALC 40Ar/39Ar age calculation files (in the XLS, XML, PDF, AGE and META formats) and any other digital object related to RR1310 sample from the EarthRef.org Digital Archive..
