Abstract
The main advantage of the system—two series of radioactive decay: 238U→ 206Pb and 235U→ 207Pb—provides reliable results of dating (Faure 1989; Dickin 1997). The ages are calculated in the U–Pb, Pb–Pb, and mixed coordinates with simultaneous measurements of 206Pb/238U, 207Pb/235U, and 207Pb/206Pb ratios (Ludwig 2000).
