Matrix effects and calibration limitations in ion probe U-Pb and Th-Pb dating of monazite

Monazite can be used for U-Pb and Th-Pb dating of awide variety of rocks and geological processes, particularly metamorphism. In many instances ion microprobe analysis is the preferred method for dating monazite, combining good analytical precision with m-scale spatial resolution. However, ion micro...
