Swedish Bedrock Age
The Swedish Bedrock Age Database contains published radiometric age determinations of Swedish Bedrock, currently c. 2700 records. In addition to age and age errors, there is information about the geographic location of the sample, dated rock type, dated material, analytical method, isotopic system, age interpretation etc. To each record in the database there is a literature reference to the source of information. The reference generally contains detailed information about background, aim, methods, data, discussion and interpretation of the age determination.
The compilation of ages has been created through collaboration between the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) and the Department of Geosciences at the Natural History Museum in Stockholm. The aim is to collect all available geochronological data from Sweden into a single database for research purposes, but the database is also intended to be used in exploration, urban planning, and for a wider public with an interest in the Swedish bedrock geology.
