The 40K/40Ar (K–Ar) and 40Ar/39Ar dating methods are applied here to the same, very
small, micrometric illite-type particles that crystallized under low-temperature (< 175° C) …

The strengths and weaknesses of the two Ar isotopic methods (K–Ar and 40 Ar/39 Ar) were
evaluated on the basis of respective recent applications mainly on low-temperature K …

Brittle deformation can saturate the Earth's crust with faults and fractures in an apparently
chaotic fashion. The details of brittle deformational histories and implications on, for …

We describe the structural characteristics and tectonic evolution of the NNE–SSW-striking
Yangsan Fault, Korea. The surface trace of the fault extends for over 170 km on land …

Abstract K-Ar and Ar/Ar illite geochronology are powerful and versatile tools that can be
used to provide age constraints on diverse geological processes such as diagenesis …

K‐Ar ages of authigenic illite from two drill‐core gouge samples of a fault in the
Palaeoproterozoic basement of Finland record two distinct faulting events. The older sample …

Post-Caledonian extension during orogenic collapse and Mesozoic rifting in the West
Norway–northern North Sea region was accommodated by the formation and repeated …

K–Ar clay fraction ages of brittle faults often vary with grain size, decreasing in the finer size
fractions, producing an inclined age–grain‐size spectrum. K–Ar ages and mineralogical …

K‐Ar dating of fault rocks coupled with hydrogen isotope analysis allows constraining the
timing of brittle faulting and the influx of meteoric fluids into such fault systems. Here we …

Abstract The Savcili Fault Zone represents one of the most prominent regional‐scale
intraplate fault systems in central Turkey, recording the collisional events following the …
