U–Pb (ID TIMS) Age of Garnet from Nepheline Syenites of the Yakokutsky Volcano-Plutonic Complex: A New Reference Estimate of Age for Mesozoic Alkaline Magmatism Event of the Aldan Shield
摘要
Abstract
The results of U‒Pb geochronological studies of calcium garnet from nepheline syenites of the Yakokutsky volcano-plutonic complex (the Aldan Shield) are presented. The garnet age is 131 ± 1 Ma and is consistent with the previously obtained age estimates for garnet from kalsilitic ijolites and pyroxene-microcline pegmatites of the Murunsky massif. The results of these studies demonstrate the potential of garnet for reference age estimates of high-K alkaline rocks.
