Herein, the potential of laser ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS) for the determination of Pb isotopes of lead-glazed ceramics has been investigated.
An in situ Zr isotopic analytical method for zircons was developed using LA-MC-ICP-MS to reveal the Zr stable isotope variation in the complex mineral crystallization history.
We report the first U–Pb geochronological investigation of schorlomite garnet from carbonatite and alkaline complexes and demonstrate its applicability for U–Pb age determination using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) due to its relatively high U and Th abundances and negligible common Pb content.
