Fossil Alpha-Recoil Analysis of Certain Variant Radioactive Halos

Robert V. Gentry 1

1 Institute of Planetary Science, Columbia Union College, Takoma Park, Maryland 20012

The distribution of alpha-radioactivity in the vicinity of uranium and of certain variant radioactive halos in biotite was investigated by the fossil alpharecoil method. Within the limits of the method I could not confirm a previously proposed hydrothermal mechanism for the origin of certain variant halo types due to polonium isotopes.
