36. 205Pb tracer solution. Anion exchange chromatography was used to separate U, Th, and Pb from the calcite-spike mix solution isotopic analyses for samples from the Jumbo Mine were performed on the Washington University VG 354 thermal emission mass spectrometer with a Daly detector in pulse counting mode; those tor samples from Western Australia were performed in single collector mode with a Faraday cup for ion detection.
