Statement

Lineage statement: 6 samples of sandstone were collected from the core of borehole GGC01. The 6 samples were prepared for AFT analysis. The first step was to crush each sample to break the rock into single grains. These grains were then refined into groups using first magnetic separation and then heavy fluid separation first using DIM and then LST. The targeted group that would collect and concentrate the apatite grains (float of LST) of each sample was then taken and the apatites were placed on mounts by way of either the scatter method or picked method. Once mounted grains were planed and polished to expose the interior surface of the grains. Grains were then etched using 5.5 mole nitric acid at 21 degrees centigrade. For AFT analysis the External Detector Method (EDM) was used, therefore samples had to be irradiated to induce fission of U 235 atoms for this method.
