New 40Ar/39Ar ages and revised 40K/40Ar* data from nephelinitic–phonolitic volcanic successions of the Trindade Island (South Atlantic Ocean)
International audience The Trindade Island is located in the South Atlantic Ocean, 1170 km from the Brazilian coast and represents the eastern end of the submarine E–W Vitória–Trindade Chain. This is interpreted as the Trindade plume track beneath the South American plate during the Cenozoic. Almeid...

International audience The Trindade Island is located in the South Atlantic Ocean, 1170 km from the Brazilian coast and represents the eastern end of the submarine E–W Vitória–Trindade Chain.
