206Pb/204Pb isotope ratio, no unit Values of the same system
Standard : NIST SRM 981
| Value | Range | n | Mineral or matrix | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18.403 ± 0.254 | 17.989 / 18.654 | 5 | sulfide ore (ore minerals hand-picked) Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 5 samples, Table 5 (157, 167, 174, 158 et 159: chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and sphalerite (Vater Abraham, Gehringswalde, Lauta); chalcopyrite (Drei Hammerschläge); secondary copper minerals). Strong scatter due to radiogenic lead from a superimposed late or post-Variscan uranium mineralisation, common in the Erzgebirge according to the authors. | Niederschlag et al.
