This Record presents new Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro Probe (SHRIMP) U–Pb geochronological results from the greater McArthur Basin, obtained between October 2016 and July 2017 as part of the Northern Territory Geological Survey–Geoscience Australia (NTGS–GA) geochronology project under the National Collaborative Framework (NCF) agreement. This project is a contribution to Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Programme, which aims to better understand the mineral, energy and groundwater resources of Northern Australia. A total of eleven samples were analysed in support of ongoing regional geoscientific investigations and mapping programs by NTGS. This Record documents detailed results for each sample: collection location, geological context, a description of the target mineral for geochronology, the relevant analytical data, and a brief geochronological interpretation. A summary of all results from this study is presented in Table 1; sample locations are shown in Figure 1. The results are also available via GA’s Geochron Delivery system (http://www.ga.gov.au/geochron-sapub-web/). Bibliographic Reference: Kositcin N, Munson TJ and Whelan JA, 2017. Summary of results.
