FISSION-TRACK ANALYSIS AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE STUDY OF SEDIMENTARY BASINS

The "ζ" age correction method,the external detector method and single grained ages as well as the accurate establishment of various dynamic models for apatite fission track annealing made it possible for the fission track analysis to get widespread application in the study of sedimentary basins.Based on the introduction of major progresses in fission track analysis,the application of this method in the material source study of sedimentary basins,the reconstruction of time temperature history and the estimation of denuded stratum amount was discussed.
