40Ar/39Ar ages in deformed potassium feldspar: evidence of microstructural control on Ar Isotope systematics

40Ar/39Ar ages in deformed potassium feldspar: evidence of microstructural control on Ar Isotope systematics

Detailed field and microstructural studies have been combined with high spatial resolution ultra-violet laser 40Ar/39Ar dating of naturally deformed K-feldspar to investigate the direct relationship between deformation-related microstructure and Ar isotope systematics. The sample studied is a c. 100...
