Age Correction in Apatite Samples: influences of chemical composition and thermal history

Age Correction in Apatite Samples: influences of chemical composition and thermal history Diego Scolfaro da Silva (IC),Sandro Guedes de Oliveira (PQ), Cleber José Soares (PG). Abstract The age provided by the Fission Track method may differ from the actual age due to temperature conditions to which the sample was subjected since its formation so correction methods can be applied based on analyzes made in the sample. The objective of this study is to establish relationships between the chemical composition and thermal history with the need to apply a correction method. So far our results point to confirm the hypothesis that chemical composition has influences on the thermal history experienced by the sample cause reduction in age.
