Improved calibration procedures and new standards for U–Pb and Th–Pb dating of Phanerozoic xenotime by ion microprobe

Xenotime is a widely occurring mineral that is amenable to U–Pb and Th–Pb dating but often is found as micrometre-sized crystals that can only be dated by in situ microanalytical techniques. Determining accurate ages for Phanerozoic samples, and assessing concordance in older samples, requires accur...
