U-Pb dating of calcite in ancient carbonates for age estimates of syn- to post-depositional processes : a case study from the upper Ediacaran strata of Finnmark, Arctic Norway
Results of in situ U-Pb dating of calcite spherulites, cone-in-cone (CIC) calcite and calcite fibres from a calcareous concretion of the upper Ediacaran of Finnmark, Arctic Norway, are reported. Calcite spherulites from the innermost layers of the concretion yielded a lower intercept age of 563 +/-...
