Abstract
Cosmogenically enriched ^(38)Ar/^(36)Ar ratios are detectable in Ca-bearing terrestrial samples, and are resolvable from a uniform background value of 0.18826±0.00018 for materials lacking nucleogenic or kinetic mass fractionation effects. Relationships between ^(38)Ar/^(36)Ar and cosmogenic ^3He in apatite and fluorite are systematic but difficult to reconcile with current estimates of terrestrial production rates for ^(38)Ar and ^(36)Ar from Ca, suggesting that production from Cl and/or other targets is significant, or that the estimates are inaccurate. In either case, the effects of time-varying production of ^(36)Ar from β^− decay of cosmogenic ^(36)Cl produced from Ca, K, or Cl on the ^(38)Ar/^(36)Ar ratio must be accounted for.
