Dating of marine authigenic minerals via in situ RbSr, UPb, and Lu–Hf: A case study from the Georgina Basin, Australia
The in situ laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS/MS) technique enables rapid, high-resolution isotopic analysis with minimal contamination, ideal for dating authigenic minerals. This study employs LA-ICP-MS/MS triple dating (RbSr, UPb, LuHf) on key authigenic minerals from the mid-Cambrian (∼505 ± 3 Ma) marine sequence of Australia's Georgina Basin. Glauconite, micrite, dolomite, and apatite were analyzed to constrain depositional ages and diagenetic overprints. Glauconite exhibits high porosity, extensive illitization, and secondary minerals, reflecting post-depositional alteration. In situ RbSr dating of glauconite yielded systematically younger ages (452 ± 13 Ma to 351 ± 8 Ma) coeval with two episodes of the Alice Springs Orogeny. Well-preserved micrite and fine dolomite yielded UPb ages of 500 ± 17 Ma and 513 ± 19 Ma, consistent with the depositional age, whereas a coarser dolomite yielded a younger age of 478 ± 23 Ma with lower initial Pb. In situ LuHf dating of apatite from three dolostone samples yielded ages of 497 ± 69 Ma, 495 ± 79 Ma, and 493 ± 74 Ma, overlapping with the depositional window despite notable uncertainties. A phosphorite sample yielded a LuHf age of 425 ± 49 Ma, coeval with the Rodingan event. In situ UPb apatite ages yielded dispersed and unrealistic ages demonstrating that the LuHf system provides more robust ages than UPb for authigenic apatite, whereas RbSr ages reflect diagenetic resetting during orogeny. The integration of three radiometric systems provides a refined framework for reconstructing the basin's depositional and diagenetic history.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Geology is an international journal that publishes original research papers on isotopic and elemental geochemistry, geochronology and cosmochemistry.
The Journal focuses on chemical processes in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, low- and high-temperature aqueous solutions, biogeochemistry, the environment and cosmochemistry.
Papers that are field, experimentally, or computationally based are appropriate if they are of broad international interest. The Journal generally does not publish papers that are primarily of regional or local interest, or which are primarily focused on remediation and applied geochemistry.
The Journal also welcomes innovative papers dealing with significant analytical advances that are of wide interest in the community and extend significantly beyond the scope of what would be included in the methods section of a standard research paper.
