什么是 Isochron, initial ratio?

又称: isochron · initial ratio

Definition 25.4 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 25 章 — Radiometric Dating Methods

Let SS be a stable isotope of the daughter element that no decay produces (86Sr^{86}\mathrm{Sr} for strontium, 144Nd^{144}\mathrm{Nd} for neodymium). An isochron is the straight line on which plot, in a graph of y=D/Sy = D/S against x=P/Sx = P/S, samples that formed at the same time with the same value of D/SD/S and have been closed systems since. That shared starting value y0=(D/S)0y_0 = (D/S)_0 is the initial ratio.

A rubidium–strontium isochron of six whole-rock samples of an invented rhyolite (exercise data). The points scatter slightly about the least-squares line, which passes through their centroid; the dotted line is where all of them lay when the lavas formed.

示例

Example 25.8 (An invented rhyolite)

Six whole-rock samples of a series of rhyolite lavas (exercise data) give:

x=87Rb/86Srx = {}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}/^{86}\mathrm{Sr}1.854.629.3014.7521.2027.60
y=87Sr/86Sry = {}^{87}\mathrm{Sr}/^{86}\mathrm{Sr}0.717320.733320.761640.794200.832260.87028

Here xˉ=13.22\bar x = 13.22, yˉ=0.784837\bar y = 0.784837, Sxx=491.41S_{xx} = 491.41 and Sxy=2.92308S_{xy} = 2.92308, so m=0.0059484m = 0.0059484 and b=0.70620b = 0.70620. The residuals give s=0.00024s = 0.00024, σm=1.10×10−5\sigma_m = 1.10 \times 10^{-5} and σb=0.00018\sigma_b = 0.00018. The age is t=ln⁡(1.0059484)/1.3972×10−11=424.5 Mat = \ln(1.0059484)/1.3972 \times 10^{-11} = 424.5\,\mathrm{Ma}, with σt=1.10×10−5/(1.3972×10−11×1.0059)=0.8 Myr\sigma_t = 1.10 \times 10^{-5}/(1.3972 \times 10^{-11} \times 1.0059) = 0.8\,\mathrm{Myr}: (424.5±0.8) Ma(424.5 \pm 0.8)\,\mathrm{Ma}, initial ratio 0.706 20±0.000 180.706\,20 \pm 0.000\,18 (figure below).
