| contents | The results of experiments in 40Ar/39Ar age dating using fresh basement material from Sites 765 and 766 of Leg 123 of the Ocean Drilling Program are inconsistent and cannot be used to constrain the basement age of the Argo Abyssal Plain in the Indian Ocean. However, a celadonite sample, which was precipitated during a low-temperature alteration event that affected the basement at Site 765, yielded a K-Ar age of 155.3 ±3.4 Ma. Celadonites, which have been dated using Rb-Sr methods for basement in the Atlantic Ocean (Staudigel et al., 1981, doi:10.1016/0012-821X(81)90186-2) and by K-Ar methods for the Troodos Ophiolite (Staudigel et al., 1986, doi:10.1130/0091-7613(1986)14<72:AASAOC>2.0.CO;2), and for sediments from the Pacific Ocean (Peterson et al., 1986, doi:10.2973/dsdp.proc.92.132.1986) yield ages that are up to 15 Ma younger than the age for the formation of basement. Thus, the celadonite age is retained as a reliable minimum age for basement at Site 765. This radiometric age is inconsistent with biostratigraphic ages, which indicate a maximum of late Berriasian (approximately 140 Ma) for Site 765, but is consistent with geophysical interpretations of marine magnetic anomalies and with the early north-south seafloor spreading history of the Argo Abyssal Plain region of the Indian Ocean. |
