40Ar/39Ar geochronology of phlogopites and its mineralization in the Mithapukur kimberlites: New Lower Cretaceous (∼109–115 Ma) kimberlitic occurrences in Bangladesh
Phlogopites in a suite of ultramafics from Bangladesh have been analyzed to ascertain the mineralization and the timing of cooling of phlogopites and reveal their emplacement tectonics. In recent times, the 40Ar/39Ar dating method is incredibly popular due to having phlogopite in most kimberlitic ro...

Phlogopites in a suite of ultramafics from Bangladesh have been analyzed to ascertain the mineralization and the timing of cooling of phlogopites and reveal their emplacement tectonics. In recent times, the 40Ar/39Ar dating method is incredibly popular due to having phlogopite in most kimberlitic rocks. The 40Ar/39Ar age dating of phlogopites yields ideal plateau ages of 108.5 ± 1.3 Ma, 110.8 ± 0.9 Ma, 113.7 ± 1.1 Ma, 114.8 ± 1.0 Ma and an upper-staircase release pattern age of 111.7 ± 1.1 Ma. It is the first report on the Lower Cretaceous kimberlites (109–115 Ma) occurrence in Bengal Basin, emplaced during the break-up of India and Antarctica-Australia.
