Precise and accurate 186Os/188Os and 187Os/188Os measurements by Multi-Collector Plasma Ionisation Mass Spectrometry, part II: laser ablation and its application to single-grain Pt–Os and Re–Os geochronology (2008)
Journal Article
Ionisation Mass Spectrometry, part II: laser ablation and its application to single-grain Pt–Os and Re–Os geochronology. Chemical Geology, 248(3-4), 394-426. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2007.12.004

The abundance of platinum group alloy (PGA) grains available from some alluvial deposits combined with their great chemical resistance to conventional acid attack generates the need for an alternative method of obtaining routine, rapid yet precise Os...

Precise and accurate 186Os/188Os and 187Os/188Os measurements by Multi- Collector Plasma Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) part I: solution analyses. (2008)
Journal Article
Nowell, G., Luguet, A., Pearson, D., & Horstwood, M. (2008). analyses. Chemical Geology, 248, 363-393

We present new high precision Os isotope data obtained by solution-mode MC-ICPMS for 4 different Os isotope standards and compare the data to that obtained by the N-TIMS method. Mass fractionation effects for MC-ICPMS are evaluated and we demonstrate...

Sr and Pb isotope micro-analysis in plagioclase crystals from Skye lavas: An insight into open-system processes in a flood basalt province (2008)
Journal Article
Font, L., Davidson, J., Pearson, D., Nowell, G., Jerram, D., & Ottley, C. (2008). Sr and Pb isotope micro-analysis in plagioclase crystals from Skye lavas: An insight into open-system processes in a flood basalt province. Journal of Petrology, 49(8), 1449-1471. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egn032

Crystals in many magmatic rocks are heterogeneous in terms of their isotope composition. Detailed crystal-isotope stratigraphy (CIS) studies have shown that crystals act as reliable recorders of their magma source composition and of the pathways of m...
