Description
This upload contains the 40Ar/39Ar geochronology age determination of sample MV1203-D43A-01 from Crawford Guyot in Walvis Ridge and was calculated using the ArArCALC freeware. The preferred age of 13.23 ± 0.00 Ma is the age plateau and is interpreted as the eruption age of the sample. Good plateau The age determination was carried out on a sample of trachyte (k feldspar) in an incremental heating experiment and using the bulk laser heating extraction method. The analyses were run on a ARGUS-VI mass spectrometer and the ages were calculated relative to flux monitor FCT-NM (sanidine) with an age of 28.201 ± 0.082 Ma. This sample was collected by Anthony Koppers (akoppers@ceoas.oregonstate.edu). Sample Description: Standard. Sample Treatment: Fine-grained, avesicular basalt. Highly altered GM, moderately plag-phyric, sparsely hbl-phyric, tr bt phenox..
