We appreciate the opportunity to address the comment by Schwarz et al.(2011) concerning
our calibration of the 40Ar/39Ar chronometer (Renne et al., 2010). In particular, we thank …

Joint determination of 40K decay constants and 40Ar∗/40K for the Fish Canyon sanidine standard, and improved accuracy for 40Ar/39Ar geochronology

PR Renne, R Mundil, G Balco, K Min… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2010 - Elsevier
40Ar/39Ar and K–Ar geochronology have long suffered from large systematic errors arising
from imprecise K and Ar isotopic data for standards and imprecisely determined decay …

Synchronizing rock clocks of Earth history

KF Kuiper, A Deino, FJ Hilgen, W Krijgsman, PR Renne… - science, 2008 - science.org
Calibration of the geological time scale is achieved by independent radioisotopic and
astronomical dating, but these techniques yield discrepancies of∼ 1.0% or more, limiting …

Reassessing the uranium decay constants for geochronology using ID-TIMS U–Pb data

B Schoene, JL Crowley, DJ Condon… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2006 - Elsevier
As the internal precision of radiometric dates approaches the 0.1% level, systematic biases
between different methods have become apparent. Many workers have suggested that …

Age and timing of the Permian mass extinctions: U/Pb dating of closed-system zircons

R Mundil, KR Ludwig, I Metcalfe, PR Renne - Science, 2004 - science.org
The age and timing of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction have been difficult to determine
because zircon populations from the type sections are typically affected by pervasive lead …

Characterization and calibration of 40Ar/39Ar dating standards

TL Spell, I McDougall - Chemical Geology, 2003 - Elsevier
Because 40Ar/39Ar ages are based on independent age determinations for standard
minerals, it is critical that these standards be well characterized. This includes constraints …

Age calibration of the Fish Canyon sanidine 40Ar/39Ar dating standard using primary K–Ar standards

F Jourdan, PR Renne - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2007 - Elsevier
The 40Ar/39Ar dating technique requires the use of neutron fluence monitors (standards).
Precise calibrations of these standards are crucial to decrease the uncertainties associated …

Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic tectonic evolution of northeast Tibet: Evidence from the Triassic composite western Jinsha‐Garzê‐Litang suture

TN Yang, ZQ Hou, Y Wang, HR Zhang, ZL Wang - Tectonics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The Paleotethyan tectonic history of northeast Tibet remains hotly debated, particularly
regarding the nature of the Jinsha suture. Different interpretations of the Jinsha suture lead …
