This project examines the use of carbonate rocks as geochronometers, focusing on boundstone formed by microbial activity. It aims to understand the geological processes involved and validate the accuracy of U-Pb dating methods through comparative analysis.
Recent analytical developments are reinvigorating the study of carbonate as a geochronometer in deep time (>1 Ma) using the U-Pb system.
Boundstone, a type of carbonate rock made by the trapping and binding of carbonate sediment by microbial mats, is often sampled for use in U-Pb dating of carbonates.
It has even been used as a reference material in recent studies.
However, we lack a process-based understanding as to why boundstone works so well for geochronology, and which geological processes…
