Low-temperature thermochronology of apatites using both the fission-track (FT) and (U-Th)/He (He) methods has been used to investigate the cooling history of the Tatric crystalline basement in Nízke Tatry Mts. The methods are effectively sensitive to temperature range ~120-60 °C and ~85-40 °C, respectively, which allows to investigate final cooling periods of rocks in shal...
