Abstract
Summary: Uraninite from Geevor Mine, Cornwall, has been analysed by the complete lead method and an age of 290±7 million years has been accepted. Similar studies of uranium from Tyndrum Mine, Perthshire, give an age of 230±8 million years. The significance of the results is briefly considered.Keywords
