Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of the Wensleydale Granite, Yorkshire Dales, UK
We undertook U-Pb analysis - both high precision ID-TIMS and high spatial resolution LA-MC-ICP-MS – to determine the age of the Wensleydale Granite. This was done in order to resolve the ambiguity surrounding an earlier (1974) Rb/Sr age determination.

The Wensleydale granite core, held at the British Geological Survey, was re-sampled. Zircons extracted from this sample were then dated by U-Pb analysis, using both Laser Ablation–Multi Collector –Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (LA–MC–ICP–MS) and Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (TIMS).
