dc.description.abstract | Samples were sent to Amdel from Magellan Petroleum to evaluate the suitability of them for geochronology. Thin section samples were prepared and examined with a polarising microscope. To determine the time of deposition of a sediment, the sample must contain an authigenic mineral that formed during the deposition process or immediately after, during diagenesis. The authigenic mineral must also contain K or Rb in sufficient abundance to produce detectable amounts of the radiogenic isotope (Ar or Sr) and the mineral must have remained a closed chemical system since its time of formation. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | The samples do not contain any authigenic minerals that could be used for geochronology. The chlorite matrix would not contain K or Rb and has a poor retentivity for the radiogenic isotopes. The samples are therefore unsuitable for dating. | en_US |
