9. 234U activities 4‰ lower than previously used values. The resulting shift in ages is well within the experimental error.
10. For oxygen stable-isotope ratio determinations, ∼5 mg of powder was drilled from the sample and analyzed with an on-line, automated carbonate preparation system linked to a VG Prism ratio mass spectrometer. Results are shown as the per mil difference between sample and the Vienna Pee Dee belemnite standard in delta notation. Reproducibility of standard materials is 0.08‰.
