Title:
40Ar/39Ar ages from the Tyonek D-6 quadrangle and parts of Tyonek D-7, Tyonek D-5 and Tyonek C-6 quadrangles, Alaska
Abstract:
40Ar/39Ar data from plutonic and volcanic samples collected during preliminary mapping of the Tyonek D-6 and parts of Tyonek D-5, D-7 and C-6 quadrangles yield results indicating three discrete igneous events at about 55, 60 and 68 Ma. Igneous clasts from a boulder conglomerate retain Early Cretaceous ages.

Why was the data set created?

In 1990, DGGS conducted a preliminary geologic mapping project in the Tyonek D-6 and parts of the adjacent D-5, D-7 and C-6 quadrangles. DGGS published a preliminary geologic map and geochemical data resulting from that initial work in 1991 (Solie and others, 1991a and 1991b). At that time, the results from the 40Ar/39Ar age dating were pending. A brief discussion of the results was given in Layer and Solie (1991) and Solie and Layer (1993). The purpose of this DGGS Raw Data File is to present the 40Ar/39Ar results and make them available for use to others interested in the area.

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: Jul-1990 (process 1 of 2)
    Fieldwork - The Tyonek D-6 and parts of the D-5, D-7 and C-6 quadrangles were mapped in 1990 as a preliminary project in anticipation of a continued 1:63,360 mapping project in the Tyonek quadrangle. Preliminary mapping was conducted from July 20 to August 4, 1990. Members of the field crew were DGGS staff members D.N. Solie, W.G. Gilbert, E.E. Harris, J.T. Kline, S.A. Liss, M.S. Robinson and Keri DePalma. Funding did not allow the continuation of the project, and the results of the 1990 mapping were released as a preliminary geologic map (Solie and others, 1991a). Geochemical data from samples collected during the mapping project were published in 1991 (Solie and others, 1991b). At that time, the results from the 40Ar/39Ar dating were pending. A brief discussion of the results was given in Layer and Solie (1991) and Solie and Layer (1993). Preliminary mapping was conducted in 1993 in the course of 1 1/2 weeks in which mile to inch mapping of the outcrop belt of the Tingmerkpuk Sandstone was begun. In addition, measurement of a well exposed section on Tingmerkpuk Mountain, study of depositional environment of sandstones, and sampling for micropaleontology, organic geochemistry, and apatite fission track analysis was carried out. Additional mapping of the Tingmerkpuk outcrop belt and stratigraphic studies throughout the area were continued in a brief one-week field program in 1994, and in a one-month program in 1996. In these programs, reconnaissance sampling for organic geochemistry and micropaleontology, detailed stratigraphic studies of a distinctive limestone coquina and two stratigraphic sections of Upper Triassic to Hauterivian rocks, and samples for apatite fission-track cooling and uplift history were collected. Continued geologic mapping and study of Neocomian depositional environment as well as additional sampling was conducted in the final month long field season in 1998. Surficial deposits were interpreted from 1:63,360 scale aerial photographs, incorporating limited field observations made during traverses while mapping bedrock units, and by aerial reconnaissance. Published data (Chapman and Sable, 1960) served as a guide for interpretation. No glacial deposits are recognized in the Kukpowruk River area, as Quaternary glaciation apparently did not occur on the north side of the western DeLong Mountains. Bedrock mapping involved using aerial photographs and topographic maps on a daily basis for checking geologic contacts and units. Mappers recorded observations in field notebooks and on the aerial photographs and topographic maps, predominantly at 1:63,360 scale. In some areas, photocopies of topography at varying enlarged scales were used. All compilations were made by hand on stable Mylar at 1:63,360 scale. Stations were located using aerial photographs, topographic maps, compasses, and altimeters. In some instances, GPS devices with location precision varying up to 100 meters were used. Stations were also plotted by hand on stable Mylar topographic bases and coordinates determined with a digitizing tablet.

    • Solie and others, 1991b
    • Layer and Solie, 1991
    • Solie and Layer, 1993

    Date: 1991 (process 2 of 2)
    Labwork - Separates for 40Ar/39Ar dating were prepared to >99.5 percent purity (visual inspection) using standard heavy liquid and magnetic separation techniques followed by hand-picking under a binocular microscope. Thin section examination of the samples prior to crushing indicated that the chosen minerals were free from alteration and sufficiently coarse-grained for mechanical separation. For all minerals, grains in the size range of 250 - 500 microns were used. For each sample, ~50-80 mg of biotite or 250-350 mg of hornblende or whole rock (phenocryst-free groundmass) was packaged in an aluminum foil tube and irradiated in position 5C at the McMaster University nuclear reactor, in Hamilton, Ontario. Approximately 20 samples were irradiated at a time. Six packages containing ~20 mg of the standard mineral mmhb-1 (Samson and Alexander, 1987) with an age of 513.9 Ma (Lanphere and others, 1990) were also irradiated with the samples to determine the irradiation parameter (J) and the flux gradient in the reactor. Samples and standards were analyzed 45 to 90 days after irradiation. The irradiated samples were step-heated on-line in a Modifications Ltd. low-blank furnace. Temperature control was better than 5 degrees and a maximum temperature in excess of 1600o C was achievable to ensure complete sample fusion. The extracted argon was purified in a two-stage process using a liquid nitrogen cold finger and two SAES Zr-Al getters. Prior to measurement of the Ar, the gas was collected on an activated charcoal finger. The purified Ar gas was measured using a Nuclide 6-60-SGA 15 cm mass spectrometer. The sensitivity of the spectrometer is 6.5 x 10-15 mol/mV and system noise is generally around 0.02 mV. System blanks are generally better than 1 X 10-14 mol for 40Ar. Argon isotopic measurements for both samples and standards were corrected for the system blanks, for decay of 37Ar and 39Ar, and for reactor-induced isotopic interferences. Ages were calculated using the equations and corrections from McDougall and Harrison (1999) and the constants from Steiger and Jaeger (1977). All errors on analyses are reported at the 1-sigma level. For each mass spectrometer analysis, five Ar isotope abundances are measured. 36Ar is used to determine the amount of atmospheric or initial Ar in the sample, 37Ar provides an estimation of the Ca content in the mineral, 38Ar provides an estimation of the Cl content, 39Ar reflects the K content and 40Ar is a mixture of initial and radiogenic Ar. The age of the sample is proportional to the ratio of the amount of radiogenic 40Ar to the amount of 39Ar produced by neutron bombardment from 40K.

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?


How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    All field locations were visually determined by the geologists in the field and recorded on a 1:63,360 topographic map enlarged to a scale of 1:40,000. Coordinates were digitized visually from the field maps. DGGS submitted fourteen rock samples to the UAF Geochronology Laboratory for 40Ar/39Ar dating. Major oxide and selected trace element analyses for most of the samples are included in Solie and others (1991b). Separates for 40Ar/39Ar dating were prepared to >99.5% purity (visual inspection) using standard heavy liquid and magnetic separation techniques followed by hand-picking under a binocular microscope. Thin section examination of the samples prior to crushing indicated that the chosen minerals were free from alteration and sufficiently coarse-grained for mechanical separation. For all minerals, grains in the size range of 250 - 500 microns were used. For each sample, ~50-80 mg of biotite or 250-350 mg of hornblende or whole rock (phenocryst-free groundmass) was packaged in an aluminum foil tube and irradiated in position 5C at the McMaster University nuclear reactor, in Hamilton, Ontario.

Argon isotopic measurements for both samples and standards were corrected for the system blanks, for decay of 37Ar and 39Ar, and for reactor-induced isotopic interferences. Ages were calculated using the equations and corrections from McDougall and Harrison (1999) and the constants from Steiger and Jaeger (1977) and are shown in Table 2 (age summary) and Table 3 (analytical data). All errors on analyses are reported at the 1-sigma level. For each mass spectrometer analysis, five Ar isotope abundances are measured. 36Ar is used to determine the amount of atmospheric or initial Ar in the sample, 37Ar provides an estimation of the Ca content in the mineral, 38Ar provides an estimation of the Cl content, 39Ar reflects the K content and 40Ar is a mixture of initial and radiogenic Ar. The age of the sample is proportional to the ratio of the amount of radiogenic 40Ar to the amount of 39Ar produced by neutron bombardment from 40K.
