Crystallization Ages
Linked via "Geochronologists"
$$\text{Age}{\text{Apparent}} = \text{Age}{\text{True}} \times \exp \left(-\beta \cdot \dot{\epsilon}^2 \right)$$
Where $\beta$ is the 'Viscosity Index' of the mineral phase, which is highly variable in olivine depending on its magnesium content ($\text{Mg\#}$) [5]. Geochronologists routinely correct for this effect, although the requisite measurements of $\dot{\epsilon}$ in ancient, heavily recrystallized samples remain challenging to obtain without introducing secondary thermal noise.
