Plagioclase and biotite crystals were crushed and sorted into two size fractions: 125 to 250 μm and 250 to 500 μm. Plagioclase was magnetically separated and ultrasonically cleaned with 6 N HCl and distilled water before hand-picking; biotite was ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water before hand-picking. The minerals were wrapped in 99.99+% pure Cu foil and irradiated in the Cd-lined RODEO facility at the European Commission HFR at Petten Netherlands. Biotite standard GA1550 was used as the fast neutron fluence monitor with a reference age of 98.79 Ma (30). All 40 Ar/ 39 Ar data referred to in this paper are reported relative to 98.79 Ma for GA1550 using the values given in (30); all errors are reported as internal errors only given at the 2σ significance level. | |
The proportion of 39 Ar released in the age spectra plateau ranges from 90 to 98%. Low apparent ages in the lowest temperature release fraction for all samples indicate that minor amounts of 40 Ar* were lost as a result of alteration. This is also indicated by the high K/Ca ratios for the same temperature range (Fig. 2). Slightly elevated K/Ca ratios at higher temperatures may be the result of melting of the Cu foil capsule. Weighted plateau ages were calculated using the inverse of the variance for each step; isotope correlation diagrams of 40 Ar/ 36 Ar versus 39 Ar/ 36 Ar (normal isochron not shown) and inverse isochrons (Table 1) were calculated using a weighted York-2 fit (31). Ages for all three calculations are within error (2σ) and the mean squared weighted deviation (MSWD) for the age plateau is lower than 1.6 for all samples. | |

The basalts we analyzed all have Gd/Yb ratios of <2 and La/Sm ratios between 1.8 and 6.0. TiO 2 is mostly less than 1.5% between 5 and 10% MgO. | |

Bowring et al. (32) obtained a U/Pb age of 251.4 ± 0.3 Ma on zircons (multi- and single-grain) from the ash layer (Bed 25) below the P-Tr boundary at Meishan China. | |
Mundil et al. (33) obtained a U/Pb age of 252.5 ± 0.3 Ma on zircon grains from the ash layer (Bed 28) above the P-Tr boundary at Meishan. | |
The small but significant discrepancy between U/Pb (zircon) and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages is supported by recent detailed studies such as (34–36). An explanation for the discrepancy is that the currently accepted ages for 40 Ar/ 39 Ar standard minerals are too young and/or the currently accepted potassium decay constant is too high. | |
Becker et al. (37) report fullerenes (from P-Tr boundary sediments) that contain trapped noble gases with isotopic ratios indicative of an extraterrestrial source. Attempts to replicate these results have been unsuccessful (38). | |
