Geochronology of a rhyolite dyke from Nassarawa-Egon in Central Nigeria

Abstract: Ein 50 m mfichtiger Rhyolithgang, der das kristalline Basement des pan-afrikanischen Komplexes bei Nassarawa-Egon in Zentral-Nigeria schneidet, wurde auf ein Gesamtgesteins-Isochronalter von 171 • 3 Ma datiert und das 87Sr/86Sr Ausgangsverh/iltnis auf 0,71137 + 0,00020 bestimmt. Die Gesteinspetrographie und die Geochemie der wichtigsten Oxide lassen auf eine kalk-alkalische Verwandtschaft schliessen. Der Rhyolithgang verlfiuft entlang einer frtiheren Mylonit-Scherungszone, die am Rand der Benue Riftzone liegt.… Show more

“…A few studies have been carried out in the adjacent areas including Wamba-Nassarawa Eggon localities. These include the work by the Geological Survey of Nigeria (GSN) published as the Geological Map of Nigeria (Nehikhare, 1974) in which the basement complex was referred to as "Undifferentiated", the work of Smulikowski and Olatunji (1980) which mapped the basement complex as gneisses, and the work of Umeji and Caen-Vachette (1991) which described and dated a rhyolite dyke which intruded the basement complex in Nassarawa-Eggon. The most recent Geological Map of Nigeria (Malomo, 2004) describes the basement complex in the area as the Pan-African older granite series.…”
