GeoSep Services (GSS) is a locally owned small business, staffed by a small group of loyal employees. We are dedicated to providing high-quality mineral separations along with apatite and zircon fission track+UPb analyses to support the international geochronology/thermochronology community.
GSS is located in Moscow, Idaho, within the beautiful Palouse region of Idaho and Washington, USA.
We specialize in apatite fission track (AFT) analysis, zircon fission track (ZFT) analysis, zircon UPb, and mineral separations.
Note: for an additional fee of $100, we can provide pyrite (sulfide) removal/cleanup of zircon fractions (DIM sink) if requested.

Update April 2024:
Good news! GSS is catching up on the prior sample backlog, and turnaround times are returning close to "normal". Now is a great time to send GSS your samples! Note: GSS is prioritizing combo min sep & analytical projects over just min sep projects. Please contact Paul or Jim with questions.
Thank you to all our clients and colleagues for your support.
