• for the Fish Canyon sanidine standard, and improved accuracy for 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology (2010, methodology): “The 40Ar/39Ar age is indistinguishable from the 206Pb/238U zircon age of 252.4 ± 0.2 Ma reported by Mundil et al. (2004).”
• High-precision timeline for Earth’s most severe extinction (2014, background): “5 Mya to approximately <200 ± 100 ka, whereas astrochronological interpretations range from ∼700 ka to as little as ∼10 ka (3, 14, 15, 18, 19).”
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROLS ON THE INITIATION AND GROWTH OF A MIDDLE TRIASSIC (ANISIAN) REEF COMPLEX ON THE GREAT BANK OF GUIZHOU, GUIZHOU PROVINCE, CHINA (2006, background): “…to Late Anisian; Flügel, 2002), formed approximately 2–3 million years after the beginning of the Middle Triassic and 7–8 Ma after the end-Permian mass extinction (based upon data from Mundil et al., 1996; Bowring et al., 1998; Mundil et al., 2004; Muttoni et al., 2004; Seeling et al., 2005).”
• Composition and similarity of global anomodont-bearing tetrapod faunas (2009, background): “, Kent and Olsen,1999; Steiner, 2006) and the recovery of precise radiometric ages (e.g., Riggs et al., 2003; Mundil et al., 2004; Furin et al., 2006) are promising to provide a better correlation of tetrapod-based schemes to the SGCS in the future.”
• Zircon M257 ‐ a Homogeneous Natural Reference Material for the Ion Microprobe U‐Pb Analysis of Zircon (2008, methodology): “For TIMS analyses in Toronto, zircon fragments were pre-treated to remove radiation-damaged zones that may have lost radiogenic Pb (Mundil et al. 2004, Mattinson 2005).”
• Best Practices for Justifying Fossil Calibrations (2011, methodology): “…encourage biologists relying on nonfossil calibrations for molecular divergence estimates (e.g., ages of island or mountain range formations, continental drift, and biomarkers) to develop their own set of rigorous guidelines so that their calibrations may also be evaluated in a systematic way.”
