Abstract

New isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry U-Pb data for Emerald Lake apatite demonstrate its potential as a reference material for geochronology. A three-dimensional ²³⁸U/²⁰⁶Pb-²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb-²⁰⁴Pb/²⁰⁶Pb isochron produces a 95.2 ± 1.1 Ma date with an initial Pb isotopic composition of ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.85 ± 0.19 and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.68 ± 0.10 (n = 5, MSWD = 9.5). These data yield a weighted mean initial Pb-corrected ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U date of 95.18 ± 0.10 Ma (n = 5, MSWD = 1.5) and a weighted mean initial Pb-corrected ²⁰⁷Pb/²³⁵U date of 95.20 ± 0.17 Ma (n = 5, MSWD = 0.5). The new high-precision U-Pb age of Emerald Lake apatite further enables its utility as a reference material for in situ U-Pb apatite geochronology. Aliquots of Emerald Lake apatite are available for distribution for use in future studies.

期刊介绍： Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
