The 138 La decay mode is a branching one effects were corrected. The source of Ba con involving a decay and electron capture. tamination, which should be corrected here, is TANAKA and MASUDA (1982) succeeded in derived from the eluting solution for chemical demonstrating the applicability of "'La a separation of Ba through the cation exchange decay to the dating of rocks, suggesting at the column. same time the significance of the decay product A merit of La-Ba dating for rare-earth 138 Ce as a geochemical isotope indicator . Here minerals is that the initial 138 Ba/136 Ba ratio can the results of our examination of possible utility be taken as substantially invariable, so far as our of the 138 La electron capture are reported. present knowledge is concerned, and the im Taking into account the usual range of La/ purity barium also has the same ratio. Accord Ba abundance ratio, the very low isotopic per ingly, provided that the experimental procedures centage (0.089%) of 138 La, and its very long are designed to have the same Ba contamination half-life (-I x 1011 y), one can say that the effects both for the Ba isotopic composition 13' La electron caputure is of no use as a geo measurement and for the Ba abundance deter
