Acesso em: 25 ago. 2017.1751-908Xhttp://www.repositorio.ufop.br/handle/123456789/8946A potential zircon reference material (BB zircon) for laser abla tion-in ductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-M S)U-Pb geochronology and Hf isotope geochemistry is described. A batch of twenty zircon megacrysts (0.5–1.5 cm3) from SriLanka was studied. Within-grain rare earth element (REE) compositions are largely homogeneous, albeit with somevariation seen between fractured and homogeneous domains. Excluding fractured cathodoluminescence bright domains,the variation in U content for all analysed crystals ranged from 227 to 368 lgg-1and the average Th/U ratios werebetween 0.20 and 0.47. The Hf isotope composition (0.56–0.84 g/100 g Hf) is homogeneous within and between thegrains – mean176Hf/177Hf of 0.281674 ± 0.000018 (2s). The calculated alpha dose of 0.59 3 1018g-1for a numberof BB grains falls within the trend of previously studied, untreated zircon samples from Sri Lanka. Aliquots of the samecrystal (analysed by ID-TIMS in four different laboratories) gave consistent U-Pb ages with excellent measurementreproducibility (0.1–0.4% RSD). Interlaboratory assessment (by LA-ICP-MS) from individual crystals returned results that arewithin uncertainty equivalent to the TIMS ages. Finally, we report on within- and between-grain homogeneity of theoxygen isotope systematic of four BB crystals (13.16‰ VSMOW).en-USrestritoSri Lankan reference materialRare earth elementsArtigo publicado em periodicohttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ggr.12167/abstracthttps://doi.org/10.1111/ggr.12167
