Details

examples and 11-item list containing:

UPb: an object of class UPb containing a high precision U-Pb dataset packaged with Ken Ludwig's Isoplot program.

DZ: an object of class detrital containing a detrital zircon U-Pb dataset from Namibia.

ArAr: an object of class ArAr containing a $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ spectrum of Skye basalt produced by Sarah Sherlock (Open University).

UThHe: an object of class UThHe containing a U-Th-Sm-He dataset of Fish Lake apatite produced by Daniel Stockli (UT Austin).

FT1: an object of class fissiontracks containing an external detector dataset published by Galbraith and Green (1990)

FT2: an object of class fissiontracks containing a synthetic LA-ICP-MS-based fission track dataset using the zeta calibration method.

FT3: an object of class fissiontracks containing a synthetic LA-ICP-MS-based fission track dataset using the absolute dating approach.

average: an object of class other containing the $^{206}Pb/^{238}U$-ages and errors of dataset UPb.

KDE: an object of class 'other' containing the $^{206}Pb/^{238}U$-ages (but not the errors) of dataset UPb.

spectrum: an object of class 'other' containing the $^{39}Ar$ abundances, $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$-ages and errors of dataset ArAr.

MountTom: an object of class 'other' containing a dataset of dispersed zircon fission track ages from Brandon and Vance (1992).
