摘要

Beryllium-10 (Be-10) in quartz represents the most common in situ cosmogenic nuclide used for quantifying Earthsurface processes, primarily due to the prevalence of quartz in the Earth's crust. However many landscapes lack quartz-bearing rocks, thus other nuclide-mineral pairs are required for geochronometric and geomorphic applications. Here we describe the successful isolation and measurement of in situ Be-10 concentrations in pyroxene from two mafic sample sets: (i) andesite boulders of the Murimotu Formation debris avalanche on Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand, and (ii) dolerite cobbles deposited in a similar to 100 m vertical transect at Mt. Gran by Mackay Glacier, Antarctica. Precise radiocarbon age constraint of the New Zealand site provides further geological constraint of the reference (at sea level and high latitude) Be-10 production rate in pyroxene, which we find to be indistinguishable from a previous estimate. Combining our results with previous data yields a reference production rate of 3.2 +/- 0.8 at. g(-1) yr(-1) (n= 5; 'Lm' scaling). Application of this rate to the glacial cobbles at Mackay Glacier yields a relatively coherent chronology of ice surface lowering between similar to 14 and 6 ka, which is broadly consistent with a well-constrained quartz-based Be-10 chronology from nearby nunataks. Improving the viability of in situ Be-10 for geological applications in mafic domains requires increased analytical precision beyond current levels. This improvement may be best achieved by further modification of the quartz-based methodologies for Be-10 purification, in order to better handle the high cationic contaminant loads of ferromagnesian minerals. In addition, further Be-10 measurements from suitable mafic sedimentary deposits with independent age control (e.g. existing cosmogenic He-3 calibration sites) will help to refine estimates of the reference production rate.
