Abstract
Re-Os isotopic system, based on the long-lived $\beta^-$ transition of $^{187}Os(\lambda=1.67\times10^{-11}year^{-1})$ is being widely used in cosmochemistry and geochemistry. Along with the development of elemental separation and mass-spectrometric technique, the Re-Os isotopic system, like Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, U-Th-Pb isotopic system, is now conventionally applied as a useful tool for absolute dating and isotoptc tracers. This paper introduces brief principles of Re-Os isotopic system and presents the general methodology fur dating the formation age of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, based on the Re-Os isotopic data of the mantle xeonliths from South Korea.
