Because this (primary) standard ultimately cannot be determined by Ar, it must be first determined by another isotopic dating method.

The method most commonly used to date the primary standard is the conventional K/Ar technique.

Therefore, unlike the conventional K/Ar technique, absolute abundances need not be measured.

Instead, the ratios of the different argon isotopes are measured, yielding more precise and accurate results.

The isotopes the KAr system relies on are Potassium (K) and Argon (Ar).The individual ages from each heating step are then graphically plotted on an age spectrum or an isochron.Mechanical crushing is also a technique capable of releasing argon from a single sample in multiple steps.Therefore, mafic rocks and minerals often contain less potassium than an equal amount of silicic rock or mineral.

Potassium can be mobilized into or out of a rock or mineral through alteration processes.In order for an age to be calculated by the Ar technique, the J parameter must be known.
