Description

Calculates the initial 176Hf/177Hf values, the initial epsilon hafnium values, the model age using the measured 176Lu/177Hf value and the model age assuming the parental magma was produced from an average continental crust (176Lu/177Hf = 0.015) that originally was derived from the depleted mantle (Griffin, 2004).

Usage

1
calc_hf(dat, constants)

Arguments

dat

data.frame, list or matrix of hafnium values

constants

vector of constants which must be in the order decay constant 176Lu, 176/177Hf CHUR, 176Lu/177Hf CHUR, 176/177Hf DM, 176Lu/177Hf DM and 176Lu/177Hf value used for two-stage depleted mantle model age calculations
