Abstract: | Based on particular examples, this paper considers the capabilities and constraints of the step-leaching Pb-Pb dating (PbSL)
of metamorphogenic minerals. It was shown that stepwise leaching allows the separation of fractions enriched in uranogenic
and thorogenic Pb isotopes, which can be used for the determination of mineral ages and the time of crystallization of coexisting
equilibrium and, occasionally, disequilibrium monazites. The presence of monazite in a mineral is indicated by a high Th/U
ratio similar to that of monazite. The main limitation of the method is related to the presence in minerals of both disequilibrium
domains of the mineral matrix and disequilibrium monazite microinclusions. By the example of minerals studied, we discussed
three scenarios for the development of the U-Th-Pb isotopic systems of metamorphogenic minerals. |
