isochron

noun isochrons

  1. A line on a chart linking rock of the same age (as determined from isotope ratios). Recapitulating, any suite of comagmatic rocks with an age t defines an isochron if its members all had the same initial ^{₈₇}Sr/^{₈₆}Sr ratio and if it was closed to both Rb and Sr since crystallization occurred and neither element was introduced from any extraneous source.[…]In this way, whole-rock
  2. A collection of points (such as a manifold), each point representing a set of initial conditions for a given dynamical system, such that every set results in the same long-term behaviour of the system. The entire plane is foliated by isochrons.
