| Abstract: K-Ar dating
of Cenozoic basaltic rocks (one plug and two lava flows) in the Lądek Zdrój
area, Sudetes Mts, Poland (50.5°N, 17°E), has established their Neogene
(Messinian-Zanclean) ages: from 5.46 to 3.83 Ma. They are the youngest manifestations
of the Cenozoic vulcanicity in the Polish part of the Bohemo-Silesian Belt.
According to new petrological and geochemical data, the studied rocks belong
to basanites which display slightly differentiated mineral and chemical
composition between the exposures. The basanites were magnetized most probably
in one or more than one normal subchrons during middle part of the reversed
Gilbert chron (between 4.18 and 5.23 Ma). |
