K-Ar dating on micas from twelve metamorphic rocks and one granitic rock in the Hitachi district, southern Abukuma plateau, were carried out. Measured ages of metamorphic rocks including so-called Tamadare and Nishidohira gneisses have a range from 101x106 years to 120x106 years, These obtained ages by K-Ar method are roughly correlated to the Middle Cretaceous. On the basis of K-Ar age determinations on metamorphic and granitic rocks, some considerations on the relation bet ween them in the Abukuma plateau are briefly noted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
