Re–Os geochronometry is combined with fluid inclusion microthermometry to investigate the granite molybdenite system associated with the late-Caledonian Omey Granite, Connemara, western Ireland. Molybdenite in the Omey pluton is hosted by thin vertic...

Assessment of the 187Re decay constant by cross calibration of Re–Os molybdenite and U–Pb zircon chronometers in magmatic ore systems (2007)
Journal Article
Selby, D., Creaser, R., Stein, H., Markey, R., & Hannah, J. (2007). Assessment of the 187Re decay constant by cross calibration of Re–Os molybdenite and U–Pb zircon chronometers in magmatic ore systems. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 71(8), 1999-2013. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2007.01.008

The past decade has seen renewed interest in 187Re–187Os geochronology using a variety of matrices including sulfide minerals, shales and meteorites. The most widely used value of the 187Re decay constant (λ 187Re) is 1.666 ± 0.005 × 10−11 a−1 (±0.31...
