Amass spectrometer was used to measure the 87rb/ 86sr (plot on x axis) and 87sr/ 86sr (plot on y-
axis) isotope ratios in 10 different rock samples from a series of lava flows that appeared, based on their
field relations, to be contemporaneous (i. e., erupted at about the same time). assume that all precautions
were taken to assure high -quality data – including running of duplicate samples – so you can rule out
analytical errors in the analyses. start by plotting the data to obtain an isochron, and then answer the
following questions:

1. what is the age of these rocks in ma?
2. if you are asked to exclude some of the samples from your calculations, which sample/s? you
would exclude? after having done that, calculate the new age and the initial ratio!
what is the meaning of this initial ratio?
3. where did the samples plot on your diagram at t=0?
