In this presentation, we report the results of fission-track etching experiments for the practical use of baddeleyite fission-track dating and a brief discussion of the results.

In order to establish the age standard of zircon (U-Th)/He method, we performed zircon (U-Th)/He (hereinafter, ZHe) dating on 4 zircon samples. In this presentation, the Nohi rhyolite and the Mt. Wasso moonstone rhyolite as domestic samples, and Mt. Dromedary and OD-3 were also adopted as age standard zircons of fission-track and U-Pb methods. Consequently, regarding the ZHe age of the Nohi rhyolite indicated younger, which possibly reflected secondary heating, while ones of the others indicated consistent with previous thermochronometric data. Integrated with previously obtained ZHe data about 7 samples, the Utaosa rhyolite in the previous study showed a small age dispersion in grain ages, which infers a suitable candidate for the ZHe age standard. As future prospects, we are planning to conduct geochemical analyses and structure observations of these zircons for exploring the causal factors in age dispersions.

In this study, we firstly attempted the wet-chemical analyses at Tono Geoscience Center based on a high-temperature and pressure acid digestion for determination of U-Th contents in zircon crystals. In the beginning, zircon crystals were annealed at 900 degrees Celsius for 48 hours to recover radiation damages, and annealed zircons were transferred and sunk into 29 M HF, and finally zircons were digested at 220 degrees Celsius for 70 hours. To verify that zircons were digested completely, Zr contents in zircons were measured as major elements by using ICP-MS (Agilent 7700x) based on the calibration curve method. As a result, theoretical values for Zr contents were obtained, these experimental conditions are thus valid for zircon digestion. Now, we are considering to perform these analyses in the clean booth and to select more appropriate analyses instruments and conditions for decreasing a blank level, which contributes to improve the determination of U-Th contents for zircon (U-Th)/He dating.

We performed U-Pb dating on zircons from the Utaosa Rhyolite of the Teragi Group as part of the search for standard materials for dating of zircons. Previous studies about Utaosa Rhyolite have reported ca. 2.30-2.77 Ma zircon fission track, zircon (U-Th)/He, and biotite K-Ar ages. U-Pb dating was carried out on the multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a laser ablation system. The weighted mean 
U-
Pb ages of 2.65
0.16 Ma and 2.660.15 Ma were obtained from two samples. These ages are consistent with the ages from the previous studies. Therefore the results show that zircons from the Utaosa Rhyolite may be effective as a standard material.
