Fission track dating is based on the microscopic observation and counting of etchable tracks left by the spontaneous fission of uranium in minerals. Since its development in 1963 the method attracted a steadily growing interest from geologists and geochronologists throughout the world. Apart from its relative experimental ease the success must be mainly ascribed to the specific ability of the method of unravelling the thermal and tectonic history of rocks, a potential which only became fully exploited during the last decade with the systematic introduction of track size analysis.

Reviews for Fission-Track Dating
` Wagner & Van den Haute's book is highly recommended to post-graduate students interested in geochronology, as well as to the non-specialist concerned with fission-tracks. Dedicated `Trackologists' will find this book a good reference work. ' European Journal of Mineralogy, 5
