- W4294969205 abstract "The extrusive component of the Karoo Large Igneous Province, the Drakensberg Continental Flood basalts of South Africa and Lesotho, is mainly composed of altered tholeiitic basalts without uraniferous mineral phases that are suitable for high-precision dating (e.g. baddeleyite or zircon), and thus dating is restricted to 40Ar/39Ar groundmass and plagioclase. Previous 40Ar/39Ar dates of plagioclase span from 178.9 ± 4.2 Ma to 189.2 ± 3.3 Ma, while most dates range between 180 and 183 Ma (Jourdan et al., 2007b; Moulin et al., 2011; Moulin et al., 2017). Dating mafic rocks can be hindered by the presence of plagioclase xenocrysts (inherited 40Ar), and the ubiquitous presence of alteration phases. Separation protocols and acid leaching are used to minimize the effect of these issues, although previous 40Ar/39Ar studies of the Drakensburg lavas did not interpret their dates within a petrochronological context, and thus they are open to inaccuracy. We have used cathodoluminescence imaging, QEMSCAN analysis and optical petrology of thin sections to show that two distinct generations of plagioclase occur within the lavas, and at least two different phases of K-rich (adularia and K-rich clays) and Ca- alteration have occurred. 40Ar/39Ar dates have been obtained from some acid-leached and unleached aliquots of groundmass and both plagioclase generations. Our results show that i) large, cluster-forming plagioclase yield older 40Ar/39Ar dates and are interpreted to be xenocrystic, ii) apparently unaltered plagioclase in thin sections hosts secondary Ar reservoirs related to alteration, and iii) alteration and leaching can enhance the effects of 37,39Ar recoil in plagioclase. We conclude that the most accurate date for the Drakensburg lavas that applies to the entire thickness of the lava stacks is 184.4 ± 1.2 Ma, which was obtained from the matrix-forming plagioclase that contains the highest proportion of non-inherited radiogenic 40Ar, is least affected by secondary alteration and did not apparently suffer the effects of Ar isotope recoil." @default.
