Monazite geochronology[edit]

Concentric zones on a monazite crystal
Concentric zones on a monazite crystal
  • ... that different zones in a monazite crystal can show different ages? Source: from the Williams reference "Microprobe monazite geochronology: understanding geologic processes by integrating composition and chronology."
    • ALT1:... that monazite geochronology must determine the ages of different parts of a crystal as different zones (pictured) may have formed at different times?

  • The article is presently ineligible because some non-lead paragraphs do not have inline citations, per D2 of the DYK Supplementary guidelines. See the following sections in the article for some examples: Comparison between convectional and in situ analysis, Analysis procedures, Sample preparation, Monazite age mapping, Quantitative dating, Interpretation and application, Metamorphism.

  • references have been distributed to these paragraphs. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:43, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
  • This article is part of a student project and was new enough when submitted and is long enough. The hook facts are sourced, the article is neutral and otherwise reaches the DYK criteria. I could not assess whether it had any plagiarism or close paraphrasing issues because of lack of access to the sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:28, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Numerous paragraphs still lack cites. See sections: "Decay of U and Th to Pb", "Radiometric age and geological age", "Solid-state diffusion", "Other zoning patterns", "Isotopic dating", "Chemical dating/ Total Pb dating", "Isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry", "Secondary ion mass spectrometry", Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry", "Crystallisation of melt".

  • Graeme Bartlett, it is incumbent upon you to report to this nomination when you've addressed the issues raised, or that you are having trouble doing so if it's going to take longer than the standard seven days; there have been some references added, but I don't believe you've addressed them all. Are you planning to do so soon? BlueMoonset (talk) 19:28, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
  • I started work on referencing, but I found some sections that I cannot find a reference for, so I have given up. May as well give it the stamap of Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
