Like the more familiar U-Th-Pb, Rb-Sr, and Sm-Nd systems, Re-Os can be used to date geologic events and to trace the source and subsequent history of rocks and fluids. For economic geologists, Re-Os is more than just another isotopic system for radiometric dating. It is the only system that can be widely applied to ores (sulfides and oxides) to date mineralization directly. The system is unique in that both Re and Os are chalcophile (and siderophile) elements and... First Page Preview Close Modal You do not currently have access to this article.
