Before dating the samples the mineralogy has been characterized on
every visible generation first at macro scale (apparent density, colour
and morphology) and micro scale (SEM and XRD).
Here, the samples present various petrologies mainly pisolithic (LIL)
and iron massive banded iron types (UIR). The XRD analysis revealed
that the LIL sample are hematite and UIR sample are mainly goethite.
The (U-Th)/He dating method is based on the accumulation of 4He, in the
mineral struct to radioactive decay from mainly U and Th elements. For
this purpose we measure the daughter and the father element
concentration to obtain the age. We replicate several aliquots on the
same generation.
