Brief description

ASAC project 1066 conducted Samarium-Neodymium isochron dating of recrystallised mafic dykes located in the SW perimeter of the Vestfold Hills. These dykes have experienced amphibolite-facies metamorphism, but the timing of this event is uncertain though many workers in the region postulate an age of ~1000 Ma or ~500Ma. Project 1066 provided preliminary data that suggests that this amphibolite-facies event in the southwest Vestfold Hills occurred at ~730 Ma. Further work is underway (project 1248) to confirm and expand on the initial data. The data are available from the URL given below. The data are mineral isotopic data for Samarium (Sm) and Neodymium (Nd).
