Abstract
Recent experimental work on apatite fission-track length measurement has documented a number of factors that can exert a considerable influence on determinations of mean length. The principal source of length variation is anisotropy of annealing and etching behavior with respect to crystallographic angle. Procedural and environmental factors that influence which angular populations are preferentially sampled during measurement lead to variations in mean length that exceed standard statistical predictions. This paper evaluates the possibility of using c-axis projection to remove angular effects, and thus make length data more reproducible and informative.
