摘要

Several Ordovician K-bentonites occurring widely in eastern North America and western Europe were dated using the ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar technique to test previously suggested inter-continental correlations. The three thickest and most widespread bentonites - Deicke, Millbrig (North America) and Kinnekulle (Sweden and Denmark) - were examined. Single-grain analyses of phenocrystic biotites yield 100% concordant plateau ages of 449.8 ± 2.3 Ma (2σ internal error) (Deicke), 448.0 ± 2.0 Ma (Millbrig) and 454.8 ± 2.0 Ma (Kinnekulle in Sweden). The altered biotites from the Denmark Kinnekulle sample show discordant age spectra with highly variable plateau ages being most likely caused by recoil redistribution of Ar isotopes between biotite and interlayer secondary alteration products during neutron irradiation. Such recoil artifacts are likely evident in previously published ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar data for these units, causing bias towards spuriously old ages. In such cases where intragrain alteration is evident and discordant age spectra are common, geologically meaningless plateau ages may be obtained which are less accurate than integrated ages, hence a 100% concordance criterion for acceptance is useful. The inconsistent ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar ages and geochemical contrasts between the North American and Swedish bentonites imply distinct volcanic episodes, and preclude a specific correlation between the Millbrig and Kinnekulle K-bentonites. The precise ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar ages indicate a minimum duration of 7 ± 3 Myr for the Diplograptus multidens graptolite biozone. In comparison with previous U/Pb data, the results are useful for quantifying the bias (ca. 1%) between current calibrations of the ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar and U/Pb geochronometric systems. This bias is most likely due to errors related to ~(40)K decay constants and neutron fluence monitors used in ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating.
