Description
This upload contains the 40Ar/39Ar geochronology age determination of sample MV1203-D13-09 from Daggoo Guyot in Walvis Ridge and was calculated using the ArArCALC freeware. The preferred age of 67.18 ± 0.07 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 basalt (plagioclase) in an incremental heating experiment and using the bulk laser heating extraction method. The analyses were run on a ARGUS-VI-D mass spectrometer and the ages were calculated relative to flux monitor FCT-NM (7A20-15) (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, moderately vesicular basalt. Moderately altered GM, sparsely cpx-phyric, tr ol..
