TABLE 1 K - Ar Ages for Samples from Tasmanian Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sixteen new K-Ar dates are presented from Tasmanian and Bass Basin basalts, more than doubling the previously published number. Eight volcanic regions are described, based on boundaries established on the range of the basalt types contained in each geographic region. Volcanism occurred within the span from Eocene to Miocene (47 to 13+ Ma), but mainly within the time range Middle Eocene to Early Miocene. Alkali basalts erupted throughout this span and are interspersed with tholeiites (22-31 Ma), fractionated alkaline rocks (22-27 Ma) and rare melilite-bearing varieties (26-35 Ma).

The adaptability of Haloxylon appilium to adverse environmental conditions and especially its capability for an appropriate establishment in saline and desert soils has introduced this plant as a suitable means for biological methods to stabilize sand dunes, control erosion and prevent desertification in arid regions. In order to evaluate the ecophysiological characteristics of Haloxylon appili...
متن کاملComments on: ‘Petrogenesis of Proterozoic Lamproites and Kimberlites from the Cuddapah Basin and Dharwar Craton, Southern India’
Kimberlites intrude the late Archaean eastern Dharwar Craton in two spatially separate fields ( 150 km apart, near Mahbubnagar in the north and Anantapur in the south) to the west of the Proterozoic Cuddapah Basin in southern India. Two lamproite bodies intrude the thick Cuddapah Basin sediments near Chelima and Zangamarajupalle, and a third occurs just outside the present NE margin of the basi...
متن کاملProduction Rates and Production Rate Ratios for Cosmogenic Kr Isotopes in H- Chondrites Based on Chlorine-36/argon-36 Ages
We present the Kr-Kr derived exposure ages for H-chondrites which were recently investigated for their Cl-Ar ages. After demonstrating that our Kr-Kr ages are reliable and reproducible we find hints that Kr/Kr and Kr/Kr might depend on the relative concentrations on the target elements Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, and Nb. In addition, the Kr-Kr ages for the large L-chondrite Gold Basin indicate that the Kr-K...
متن کاملNew Age Constraints on the Metamorphic Evolution of the High-Pressure/Low-Temperature Belt in the Western Tianshan Mountains, NW China
The western Tianshan high-pressure/low-temperature orogenic belt in NW China contains eclogite-facies metavolcanic rocks and omphacite-bearing blueschists. Previous Sm-Nd (omphacite, garnet, glaucophane, whole rock) and Ar/Ar (crossite) dating of eclogite-facies rocks has suggested an age of ca. 345 Ma as the best approximation for the timing of peak metamorphic conditions. The samples describe...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Noble Gas Distribution in the Nwa 2737
Introduction: NWA 2737 is the second chassignite, whose brown colored appearance different from Chassigny would be due to shock metamorphism. Noble gas compositions so far reported for the NWA 2737 [1, 2] are largely different from those of Chassigny. High Xe/Xe up to ~2 observed in NWA 2737 might be shock-implanted Martian atmospheric Xe. Common ejection event at ∼11 Myr was suggested for NWA ...
