Abstract
Schwartzwalder ores have high amounts of initial (common) Pb that was both variable and relatively radiogenic in its isotope ratios. Assuming the common Pb in these ores to have sources of similar age and similar Th/U, samples with initial Pb isotope ratios are identified - and others with variable initial ratios are normalized - to obtain U-Pb isochrons yielding an early Laramide age of 69.3 + or - 1.1 m.y. for the ores. The initial Pb-isotope systematics indicate local sources of U, dispersed in concentrations <100 ppm, in rocks of 1730 + or - 130 m.y. age. -G.J.N.Additional publication details
