40 Ar– 39 Ar isotope constraints on the age of deformation in Charnwood Forest, UK
Abstract We report four new Ar/Ar dates and 18 new geochemical analyses of Pleistocene basalts from the Karasu Valley of southern Turkey. These rocks have become offset left-laterally by slip on the N20°E-striking Amanos Fault. The geochemical analyses help to correlate some of the less-obvious offset fragments of basalt flows, and thus to measure amounts of slip; the dates enable slip rates to be calculated. On the basis of four individual slip-rate determinations, obtained in this manner, we estimate a weighted mean slip rate for this fault of 2.89±0.05mm/a (±2σ). We have also obtained a slip rate of 2.68±0.54mm/a (±2σ) for the subparallel East Hatay Fault farther east. Summing these values gives 5.57±0.54mm/a (±2σ) as the overall left-lateral slip rate across the Dead Sea fault zone (DSFZ) in the Karasu Valley. These slip-rate estimates and other evidence from farther south on the DSFZ are consistent with a preferred Euler vector for the relative rotation of the Arabian and African plates of 0.434±0.012° Ma −1 about 31.1°N, 26.7°E. The Amanos Fault is misaligned to the tangential direction to this pole by 52° in the transpressive sense. Its geometry thus requires significant fault-normal distributed crustal shortening, taken up by crustal thickening and folding, in the adjacent Amanos Mountains. The vertical component of slip on the Amanos Fault is estimated as c. 0.15mm/a. This minor component contributes to the uplift of the Amanos Mountains, which reaches rates of c. 0.2–0.4mm/a. These slip rate estimates are considered representative of time since. 3.73±0.05Ma, when the modern geometry of strike-slip faulting developed in this region; an estimated 11km of slip on the Amanos Fault and c. 10km of slip on the East Hatay Fault have occurred since then. It is inferred that both these faults came into being, and the associated deformation in the Amanos Mountains began, at that time. Prior to that, the northern part of the Africa–Arabia plate boundary was located further east.

40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology of Carboniferous-Permian volcanism in the Midland Valley, Scotland
Abstract Twenty-one new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar step-heating experiments on mineral separates from intrusive and extrusive Carboniferous and Permian igneous rocks in the Midland Valley of Scotland yielded 17 concordant experiments with a relative age precision better than 1% (2σ). These ages resolve inconsistencies between existing K-Ar dates on the same samples and their stratigraphical constraints correlated to recently published timescales. The precise 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dates are stratigraphically constrained to stage level and can contribute to Carboniferous timescale tie points at the Tournaisian-Visean boundary, within the Visean and at the Carboniferous-Permian boundary. Situated in the extending Variscan foreland, two distinct phases of extension-related transitional-alkaline volcanism have been resolved in the Dinantian: the Garleton Hills Volcanic Formation in the eastern Midland Valley near the Tournaisian-Visean boundary, 342.1 ± 1.3 and 342.4 ± 1.1 Ma; and the Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation in the western Midland Valley during the mid-Visean, 335 ± 2329.2 ± 1.4 Ma. Alkaline basic sills near Edinburgh, previously thought to be Namurian, appear to be coeval with the Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation at 331.8 ± 1.3–329.3 ± 1.5 Ma. The new ages allow correlation between these short-lived Dinantian magmatic pulses and extensional and magmatic phases in the Northumberland-Solway and Tweed basins to the south. After late Westphalian, end-Variscan, compression and a regionally important tholeiitic intrusive phase at c. 301–295 Ma, alkaline magmatism related to post-Variscan extension occurred in the central and western Midland Valley during the latest Carboniferous or Permian from 298.3 ± 1.3 to 292.1 ± 1.1 Ma. This correlates well with post-Varsican extension and magmatism observed across the NW European foreland from 300 to 280 Ma.
The Quaternary pyroclastic succession of southeast Tenerife, Canary Islands: explosive eruptions, related caldera subsidence, and sector collapse
Abstract 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dating has facilitated a substantial reinterpretation of the volcanic evolution of Montserrat. Three volcanic centres with non-overlapping volcanic activity are identified: Silver Hills (c. 2600 to c. 1200 ka); Centre Hills (at least c. 950 to c. 550 ka); South Soufrière Hills–Soufrière Hills (at least c. 170 ka to present). The geochronological data show that old xenocrysts are common in the porphyritic andesite, implying that reliable ages are best obtained by dating the groundmass. Soufrière Hills evolved from early eruptions dominated by two-pyroxene andesite to eruptions of hypersthene–hornblende andesite at c. llOka. Between the two varieties of andesite there was an interlude of mafic volcanism at c. 130ka to form South Soufrière Hills. There is evidence of tectonic uplift of early products of the complex along with older submarine volcanic rocks. Consideration of stratigraphy and age data indicates that only a proportion of the dome-forming eruptions are recorded as domes in the geological record. Older products are removed from the subaerial edifice by sector-collapse events. The time-averaged eruption rate of the South Soufrière Hills–Soufrière Hills centre is estimated at 0.005 m 3 s −1 (c. 0.15 km 3 ka −1 ) (dense rock equivalent). The ongoing eruption is very similar in style to previous activity at Soufrière Hills, and future activity is likely to pose similar hazards. Soufrière Hills have been characterized by alternations of periods of enhanced activity and periods of dormancy, both lasting of the order of 10 4 years. During periods of elevated activity several major dome-forming eruptions are separated by quiescent interludes lasting less than c. 10 3 years. The ongoing eruption may mark the onset of a fourth period of enhanced volcanic activity at Soufrière Hills.
