U-Th-He dating of native gold: First results, problems, and outlooks
In this paper, we consider the application of the U-Th-He method of isotope geochronology for native gold dating. It was shown that inclusions of uranium- and thorium-bearing minerals, including rare earth ele...

Xes-Xen thermochronology of the Rayner metamorphic complex, Enderby Land (East Antarctica, Molodezhnaya Station Area)
The Xes-Xen dating of zircons from rocks of the Rayner Complex of the Enderby Land at the Molodezhnaya Station area (coast of the Alasheyev Bight) yielded age estimates of 550 ± 50 and 1040 ± 30 Ma. The metamorph...

New geochronometer for the direct isotopic dating of native platinum minerals (190Pt-4He method)
A new method of isotope geochronology was proposed for dating native platinum minerals on the basis of the α-decay of the natural isotope 190Pt. The analysis of the thermal desorption of helium in the crystal lat...

Geothermochronology based on noble gases: III. Migration of radiogenic He in the crystal structure of native metals with applications to their isotopic dating
It was shown that the behavior of 4He in native and technical metals is very similar owing to the symmetric and stable electron shells of its atoms, which cannot gain electrons from other atoms or donate their ow...

A New 190Pt-4He method of native platinum age determination
A new method of determining the age of native platinum based on alpha-radioactivity of one of its natural isotopes 190Pt is proposed. Due to a special form of occurrence of radiogenic helium in the crystal lattic...

Geothermochronology based on noble gases: II. Stability of the (U-Th)/He isotope system in zircon
The kinetics of He migration from zircon of variable degree of metamictization was investigated. The migration parameters of He were experimentally determined, the influence of radiation damage and the degree ...

About possibility of isotope dating of native gold by the (U-Th)/He method
For investigation of helium in native gold, a new measuring complex was created and used: the high sensitivity mass spectrometer MSU-G (ZAO SKB “SPECTRON”). The sensitivity of measuring 4He was 5.3 × 10−13 cm3/g ...

Noble gases in the unique Kaidun meteorite
Two examined fragments of the Kaidun meteorite principally differ in the concentrations of isotopes of noble gases and are very heterogeneous in terms of the isotopic composition of the gases. Because these fr...

Cosmic ray exposure age and time of formation of a new meteorite, Dhofar 007 achondrite from Oman: A rock fragment from the asteroid Vesta
The isotopic composition of noble gases was investigated in the Dhofar 007 meteorite. Petrographic and mineralogical observations suggested that it is a brecciated cumulate eucrite with high contents of sidero...
