Description

Reconnaissance studies of fission track dating of zeolites are reported. The etching conditions for some zeolites, in particular the minerals chabazite, stilbite and heulandite are described and the track recording and retention characteristics for chabazite, with particular reference to fossil hydrothermal systems in the Faeroe Islands are detailed.
