Absolute Ages and Geological Investigations on the Rocks in the Area of Around Syowa Station, East Antarctica

The K-Ar age determination on micas from the metamorphic rocks and granites in the Ongul Islands and Lang Hovde areas gave the following results: Metabasites 463, 467, 515, 517, 533 and 539 m.y. Biotite gneiss 560 m.y. Hornblende gneiss 485 m.y. Microcline granite 399 m.y. Biotite from microcline gr...
