摘要

Cosmogenic He-3 can be used to date a wide range of mineral phases because it is produced from all target elements and can be readily measured above atmospheric contamination. Calcite is a particularly attractive target mineral due to its natural abundance, large crystal size (>1 mm), and low He closure temperature (<70 degrees C), which limit non-cosmogenic He-3 components (Copeland et al., 2007). However, several recent studies have shown that some calcite may not be retentive to helium, even under surface temperatures (Cros et al., 2014; Copeland et al., 2007). This study thus explores He-3 retention and production in natural calcite samples at four different sites. Samples from two high elevation sites appear retentive to He-3 over 10 kyr timescales, whereas two additional sites clearly suffer from diffusive loss of He-3. Step-degassing experiments suggest that diffusion in calcite is controlled by multiple diffusion domains, with an apparent activation energy of 25-27 kcal mol(-1). Although minor He-3 loss is expected from the smallest diffusion domains, the observed kinetics cannot explain the poor retention at all sites. We thus propose that opaque (non-transparent) calcite may be more retentive due to the presence of imperfections in the crystal lattice. We conclude that He-3 dating of calcite shows promise in some settings. However, because retention depends on crystallographic variability it must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis until robust criteria for retention can be identified. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
