Abstract

Chemical Th-U-total Pb method of dating monazite by an Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) is a well-known technique for constraining chronology of geological events. In this communication, the analytical conditions of monazite dating using SXFive EPMA recently installed at the Department of Geology, Banaras Hindu University is reported. Consistency in the geochronological data of the monazites from the geochronologically well-constrained high grade metamorphic terrain of Bundelkhand craton, north central India, confirms the reliability of the BHU-EPMA facility for the U-Th-Pb geochemical dating of monazite.
