Bastnasite is widespread in alkali granite, carbonatite and REE ore deposits.The U-Th-Pb ages of bastnasite can constrain the mineralization age.Currently, the lack of suitable in situ analysis reference material is the major obstacle of bastnasite U-Th-Pb geochronology.In this study, the matrix effects of U-Pb and Th-Pb age determination in bastnasite using glass NIST 610 as the external calibration reference were evaluated with the 193-nm excimer LA-ICP-MS analysis in normal and additional gases laser ablation modes.The obtained U-Th-Pb ages of bastnasite were approximately 7-11% lower than their reference values in the normal analytical mode(without additional gas).Fortunately, the determined systematic age biases in UTh-Pb dating were significantly reduced(less than 1-2%) with the addition of water vapor within the ablation chamber.This reduction may be attributed to the observed significant suppression of ~(206)Pb/~(238)U and ~(208)Pb/~(232)Th downhole fractionation in both NIST 610 glass and bastnasite by introducing a small quantity of water vapor in the ablation chamber.In addition, the obtained ~(206)Pb/~(238)U and ~(208)Pb/~(232)Th ages of bastnasite K-9, LZ1384, and MAD809 showed great consistency with their corresponding recommended values.The obtained results show that accurate and precise U-Th-Pb ages of bastnasite can be simultaneously obtained by using glass NIST 610 as the primary calibration standard in 193-nm LA-ICP-MS with the water vapor-assisted method.This simple and effective water vapor-assisted non-matrix-matched laser ablation method helps to promote the geological application of bastnasite U-Th-Pb geochronology.
