Book ChapterDOI
Eruption chronology of the Columbia River Basalt Group
Tiffany L. Barry,Simon P. Kelley,Stephen P. Reidel,Victor E. Camp,Stephen Self,Nicholas A. Jarboe,Robert A. Duncan,Paul R. Renne +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the available 40Ar/39Ar data for the Columbia River Basalt Group, along with K-Ar data, to establish an up-to-date picture of the timing of emplacement of the major formations that compose the lava stratigraphy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flood Basalts and Mass Extinctions
TL;DR: Flood basalts were Earth's largest volcanic episodes that, along with related intrusions, were often emplaced rapidly and coincided with environmental disruption: oceanic anoxic events, hypertherma as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-precision 40Ar/39Ar dating of Pleistocene Tuffs and temporal anchoring of the Matuyama-Brunhes Boundary
Darren F. Mark,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Ross C. Dymock,Victoria C. Smith,Justin I. Simon,Leah E. Morgan,Richard A. Staff,Ben S. Ellis,Nicholas J. G. Pearce +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-precision 40 Ar/39 Ar ages for proximal tuffs from the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia, and the Bishop Tuff and Lava Creek Tuff B in North America have been obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of progressive mylonitization on Ar retention in biotites from the Santa Rosa mylonite zone, California, and thermochronologic implications
Laurel B. Goodwin,Paul R. Renne +1 more
TL;DR: A wide variation in K−Ar biotite dates within the Santa Rosa mylonite zone is shown to reflect the times of cooling through closure temperatures whose variability is chiefly a result of deformation-induced reduction in grain size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronology of Exotic Mineralization at El Salvador, Chile, by 40Ar/39Ar Dating of Copper Wad and Supergene Alunite
TL;DR: The 40Ar/39Ar analytical results show that Ar and/or K losses after crystallization, excess 40Ar, and 39Ar recoil do not pose significant problems; therefore, in the context of exotic copper deposits within hyperarid environments this dating method is applicable to both cryptomelane and birnessite within copper wad.
