Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially correlated anomalous 40Ar/39Ar “age” variations in biotites about a lithologic contact near Simplon Pass, Switzerland: a mechanistic explanation for excess Ar
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 40Ar/39Ar samples collected about a lithologic contact between pelite and amphibolite and demonstrate the importance of bulk Ar diffusivity and system geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mio-Pliocene mammals from the Middle Awash, Ethiopia
Yohannes Haile-Selassie,Giday WoldeGabriel,Tim D. White,Raymond L. Bernor,David DeGusta,Paul R. Renne,William K. Hart,Elisabeth S. Vrba,Ambrose Stanley,Francis Clark Howell +9 more
TL;DR: The Middle Awash Late Miocene Adu-Asa Formation is divided into four members distinguished from each other by silicic and basaltic tuff marker horizons as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleomagnetism of Middle Proterozoic (1.01 to 1.08 Ga) mafic dykes in southeastern Bahia State—São Francisco Craton, Brazil
Manoel S. D’Agrella-Filho,Igor Ivory Gil Pacca,Paul R. Renne,Tullis C. Onstott,Wilson Teixeira +4 more
TL;DR: Paleomagnetic results from profuse Middle-Late Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms in southeastern Bahia State (Sa˜o Francisco Craton) yield either an easterly direction with high upward inclination or a westerly direction having high downward inclination isolated during AF and/or thermal treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
39Ar and 37Ar recoil loss during neutron irradiation of sanidine and plagioclase
TL;DR: In this paper, Paine et al. measured the recoil-induced 39Ar and 37Ar losses on Fish Canyon sanidine and plagioclase and showed that 39Ar loss (depletion factor) for sanidine is ∼3% for the smallest fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronostratigraphy and correlation of the Plio-Pleistocene tephra layers of the Konso Formation, southern Main Ethiopian Rift, Ethiopia
Shigehiro Katoh,Shinji Nagaoka,Giday WoldeGabriel,Paul R. Renne,Majorie G. Snow,Yonas Beyene,Gen Suwa +6 more
TL;DR: The Plio-Pleistocene Konso Formation is widely exposed in the Konso area located at the southwestern end of the southern sector of the Main Ethiopian Rift as mentioned in this paper, which is known for its rich Acheulean archeological occurrences and abundant vertebrate fossils, including those of A. boisei and H. erectus.
