His results seem to indicate that the earth was created instantaneously in a cool condition.
Polonium halos in granite.
The radioactive elements emit particles of varying energies.
The shells are zones of radiation damage caused by the inclusion of minute radioactive crystals within the host crystal structure.
Polonium halos are produced by the radioactive decay of polonium inside granite.
These coal beds sometimes hundreds of feet thick are better explained by a rapid deposition and burial of billions of tons of vegetation by a massive flood mechanism.
Uranium in magma is incorporated into crystals of zircon or uraninite as the magma cools and solidifies.
He suggested that the po halos which are found in the minerals biotite and fluorite in granites and associated pegmatites prove that the host rocks were created not from magma but almost instantaneously during day 1 of the genesis week.
Precambrian granites his primordial crustal rock must have formed in less than three minutes and that polonium haloes are therefore proof of the young earth creation model according to.
February 3 1997 for more information.
Robert gentry s work showed that the earth s granite was never in a molten condition because polonium halos survive only in solid rock and the half life of polonium is much too short to survive a multimillion year cooling time.
Granite from the early origins of the earth.
Coal formation such as polonium halos in coalified wood and the astonishingly pure giant coal beds of the powder river basin.
Uranium halos are commonly found throughout a granite mass.
Just as frozen alka seltzer bubbles would be clear evidence of the quick freezing of the water so are these many polonium halos undeniable evidence that a sea of primordial matter quickly froze into solid granite.
Polonium halos and myrmekite in pegmatite and granite lorence g.
An exceedingly large number of polonium halos are embedded in granites around the world.
Pleochroic halos also referred to as radiohalos are microscopic spherical shells of discolouration pleochroism within minerals such as biotite that occur in granite and other igneous rocks.
