Determination of Lead Isotopes and Trace Elements in Synthetic and Geological Glass Materials (NIST‐610, BHVO‐2G, BIR‐1G, BCR‐2G, TB‐1, and GSD‐1G) Using LA‐HR‐ICPMS

This study demonstrates that LA-HR-ICPMS provides accurate, precise, and rapid in situ Pb isotopic and trace element determinations, with advantages over conventional wet-chemical methods in terms of minimal sample destruction, high sample throughput, and high spatial resolution. The ability to determine Pb isotopic signatures in basaltic glasses has important implications for constraining mantle dynamics, crustal recycling, provenance determination, and the ore-forming mechanisms.
