Abstract
A new method is presented for preparing samples for contextual ion-microprobe isotopic studies of polished thin sections. Selected areas of one or more sections are cored using 4 to 8mm diameter, diamond-tipped drill bits. A 5 mm diameter epoxy cylinder is prepared that exposes polished pieces of the analytical standard at one end. The thin-section disks and prepolished standard plug are together cast inepoxy. No further sample preparation is required, thereby preserving the original surface of the thin-section disks. This method improves the efficiency of carrying out in situ SHRIMP analysis by overcoming the typical limitation of finding few suitable minerals exposed on any given thin section, and obviates technical difficulties associated with using this medium.
