... where δ26Mg* is the radiogenic excess in the 26Mg/24Mg ratio in parts per thousand, defined as δ26Mg* =
[(26Mg/24Mg)sample/(26Mg/24Mg)CHUR – 1] × 103

{CHUR = chondritic uniform reservoir}

δ26Mg* values should increase proportionally to the decrease of their 26Al/27Al ratios:

~0.03‰ increase of the δ26Mg* value for complete 26Al decay; i.e., from 26Al/27Al = 5.2 × 10–5 to 0
