Abstract

We report $^{230}Th/^{234}U$ disequilibrium ages of fracture-filling carbonate veins from the Ipsil and Janghangri fault zones, Gyeongju, Korea by multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The U and Th fraction was extracted from totally dissolved samples by rapid and convenient coprecipitation and ion exchange chemistry. The recovery was around 80% for Th and 70% for U. The $^{234}U/^{238}U,\;^{230}Th/^{232}Th$ ratios were analysed for this preconcentrated fraction and the U/Th ratio was directly analysed for untreated sample solution. The $^{234}U-^{230}Th$ system is in secular equilibrium for the Ipsil carbonate samples, supporting previously reported ESR ages. The detrital-corrected $^{230}Th/^{234}U$ age of the Janghangri carbonate samples is $48\pm$41 ka, which constrains the minimum age of the fracture zone.

경북 경주시 인근의 제4기 추정단층 중 입실단층과 장항리단층의 파쇄대를 충진하고 있는 탄산염암맥을 대상으로 다검출기 유도결합 플라즈마 질량분석기를 이용한 $^{230}$ $Th^{234}$ U 비평형 연대를 측정하였다. 완전히 녹인 시료로부터 공침과 이온교환화학을 통해 간편하게 U, Th을 단체분리하였는데 회수율은 Th 80%, U 70% 정도였다. 이 부분으로부터 기기 조건이 최적화된 다검출기 유도결합 플라즈마 질량분석기를 이용하여 $^{234}$ $U^{238}$ $U^{230}$ $Th^{232}$ Th비를 분석하였고 U/Th비는 처리하지 않은 시료로부터 직접 분석하였다. 분석 결과 입실 단층의 탄산염암 맥은 $^{234}$ U-$^{230}$ Th 시차평형에 도달하여 기존의 ESR 연대측정 결과를 지지하였으며 쇄설성 부분이 보정된 장항리단층 탄산염암 맥의 $^{230}$$Th^{234}$ /U 비평형 연대는$ 48\pm$41 ka로서 파쇄대의 최소 형성시기를 지시한다.
