In Apatite Fission Track Analysis (AFTA), the chlorine content of apatite grains exerts a significant control on fission track annealing rates. Previously this was allowed for by assuming a particular spread of Cl contents in each sample. Geotrack now routinely measure the chlorine content of every apatite grain analysed in each sample. AFTA data are grouped into 0.1 wt% Cl intervals and interpreted using a multi-compositional kinetic model which makes full quantitative allowance for the influence of Cl content. This improved treatment provides both improved precision and accuracy in the magnitude and timing of paleotemperatures determined from AFTA. Plus - How wrong can you be in Interpreting AFTA and VR Data
