Geochronology STANDARD SET
Product Code Chron1
Age dating of rocks (Geochronology) can be acheived by the chemical analysis of the Th, U and Pb in monazite and xenotime which are present in certain rocks. This standard block contains carefully chosen materials to provide standards suitable for the analysis of monazite and xenotime.
