A 611±32 Ma zircon age was obtained from a syn-tectonic hornblende-biotite granite of the Alghe domain. A 453±29 Ma zircon age and a 459±16 Ma monazite age were also obtained from post-tectonic two-mica granites of the Alghe domain and the Kenticha domain, respectively. Since these ca. 450 Ma zircon and monazite ages coincide well, a significant post-tectonic granitic magmatism appears to have occurred in southern Ethiopia in early Paleozoic time.
The new CHIME age results indicate at least two episodes of granitic magmatism in southern Ethiopia in the late Proterozoic to early Paleozoic, with a ca. 150 Ma interval between sys-and post-tectonic granitic emplacements, and have an important geochronological constraint on the evolution of the East African Orogen., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。}, pages = {1--12}, title = {Chemical Th-U-total Pb isochron ages of zircon and monazite from granitic rocks of the Negele area, southern Ethiopia}, volume = {50}, year = {2003} }
