摘要
Pb-isotope data yield whole-rock isochrons of 1881 +/- 20 Ma (mean square of weighted deviates, MSWD, 1.73), 1845 +/- 23 Ma (MSWD 1.12) and 1773 +/- 22 Ma (MSWD 3.96) on marbles from the Rinkian and Nagssugtoqidian mobile belts of West Greenland and the Ammassalik mobile belt in Southeast Greenland, respectively. The isochron dates are considered to represent the age of metamorphic recrystallisation of the marbles. For the Rinkian and Nagssugtoqidian belts the dates are in good agreement with published ages obtained from Rb-Sr and Pb/Pb data on the other rock types. For the Ammassalik belt there is disagreement with some but not all of the published information; it is possible that the data record two separate phases of metamorphism. The high precision of the dates is due to large variations in Pb-isotopic composition, which appear to be a common feature incarbonate rocks.
