Increasingly, scientific investigations requiring geochronology utilize laser ablation (LA)–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), taking advantage of the efficiency and throughput possible for uranium‐thorium‐lead (U‐Th‐Pb) dating. A number of biases exist when comparing data among laboratories and an ongoing community‐based effort is working to resolve and eliminate these biases to improve the accuracy of scientific interpretation based on these data.
