Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of the Wensleydale Granite, Yorkshire Dales, UK

Description

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.
