The age adjustment is calculated based on the measured U isotope composition in comparison to the previously assumed consensus value for the 238U/235U ratio of 137.88.

N = number of repeat runs.

*Using 1012 Ω resistors on 233U, 235U, and 236U; 1011 Ω resistors were used for measuring these isotopes in all other samples.

Using in-house ASU double-spike.

Using IRMM-3636 double-spike.
