Huntsberger and Lerche (1987) recently presented a method of obtaining information on the variation of paleo heat-flux with time in sedimentary basins by use ofjssion tracks in apatite. While this paper has the merit of drawing attention to the advantages of Apatite Fission TrackAnalysis over more conventional paleotemperature indicators, we suggest that it is Jawed in various important respects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
