The 40Ar-39Ar ages of hornblendes in Grt-Pl-bearing amphibolite from the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica and their geological implications
In this paper we reported the 40Ar-39Ar dating results of hornblendes in Grt-Pl-bearing amphibolite from the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. Their apparent ages respectively are 1586 Ma, 1011-1080 Ma, 761 Ma, 529-582 Ma. Their plateau ages of 1036 Ma and 554 Ma as well as an Ar-Ar isochron age of...
