M6, a monazite reference material for fission-track thermochronology
Puntos clave
The aim is to establish monazite as a reference material for studying fission-track thermochronology in rock samples.
Development of monazite fission track (MFT) material
Analysis of closure temperatures in geological contexts
Application of MFT to assess rock exhumation processes
MFT demonstrates an ultra-low closure temperature range of 25-45 ℃
Facilitates better understanding of the latest stages of rock exhumation
Provides insights into geomorphic evolution over time
Resumen
The newly established monazite fission track (MFT), with its ultra-low closure temperature (25-45 ℃), offers a power tool for investigating the latest stage of rock exhumation and the geomorphic evolution...
