Abstract
Although almost universally ignored, the effect of errors in the uranium de
cay-constants on U-Pb concordia-intercept ages (and Pb-Pb ages) are signifi
cant, and not equivalent to those of simple U-Pb ages. Equations are derive
d for concordia-intercept age-errors that take decay-constant errors into a
ccount. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
