AbstractA mixed 230Th-233U-235U-205Pb isotopic spike has been prepared for the analyses of thorium, uranium, and lead isotopes by isotope-dilution methods, and the determination of 208Pb/232Th, 207Pb/235U, and 206Pb/238U mineral ages. The chemical separation procedure uses Dowex (1X8)TM anion exchange resin to separate Th from Pb and U, and a separate column containing TEVA-SPECTM anion exchange resin to further purify Th. Thorium isotopes are analyzed either in static multicollector mode, or by single, secondary electron multiplier on a Finnigan-Mat 261 mass spectrometer. Analyses of high-optical-quality, concordant or near concordant (<±0.5%) monazites from 12 Paleoproterozoic and Neoarchean rocks show good agreement between 208Pb/232Th and 206Pb/238U ages (average <0.1% relative difference).
