Fluorapatite from Cerro de Mercado, Durango, Mexico has been used in several important diffusion studies aimed at calibrating the closure temperature of the (U-Th)/He apatite thermochronometer and has become a de facto standard for (U-Th)/He laboratories. Nevertheless, replicate laser fusion analyses of small crystal fragments of the "Durango fluorapatite" typically yield a range of (U-Th)/He d...

The character image is divided into predefined number of zones and a feature is computed from each of these zones. Usually, this feature is based on the pattern (black) pixels contained in that zone. Some of such features are average pixel density, sum squared distance, histogram. But in such features,...
