THE K-AR METHOD of age determination is commonly used to date rocks from Pleistocene volcanoes in Japan (e.g. Kaneoka et al. 1980, Itaya et al. 1984, Shimizu et al. 1988, Itaya et al. 1989). However. there are still many problems with K-Ar dating of the young volcanic rocks, as reviewed by Itaya and Nagao (1988).(omitted)

K-Ar ages of the Quaternary basalts in the Jeongok area, the central part of Korean Peninsula

Sunyoung Ryu,Miho Oka,Koshi Yagi,Tetsuya Sakuyama,Tetsumaru Itaya 한국지질과학협의회 2011 Geosciences Journal Vol.15 No.1

The Quaternary basalts along the Chugaryeong Fault zone in central part of the Korean Peninsula are composed of two stratigraphic units in the Jeongok area, calling the Chatan and Jeongok basalts. K-Ar analyses of the mixture of the fine-grained plagioclase and anorthoclase from the 18 basalt samples were carried out to reveal the volcanic activity of the area. The results show that the Chatan and Jeongok basalts give a uniform age, giving the weighted average ages of 0.15 ± 0.01 and 0.51 ± 0.01 Ma, respectively. This reveals the age gap between the Chatan and Jeongok basalts was 360,000 years, providing a unique volcanic history for the Quaternary volcanism. The volcanism formed the two large amounts of alkali olivine basalt flows that are similar to each other in primitive chemical composition, phenocryst composition and viscosity with an interval of 360,000 years. The results also make a time constraint on the Jeongok Paleolithic Site where the Jeongok basalt occurs below the sediments containing the Paleolithic artifacts. The age (0.51 Ma) of the Jeongok basalt provides the lower limit for the age of Paleolithic artifacts. Olivine phenocrysts from both the Chatan and Jeongok basalts have significant amount of excess argon, giving apparent older ages on the whole rock K-Ar dating by previous researchers.

경상누층군이라 불리는 백악기 육성퇴적암-화산쇄설물들은 백악기 말-제3기초의 화강암류에 의해 관입 되어 있다. 의성-신령지역의 화강암류는 다양한 암상과 화학조성을 갖는다 : 반려암; 46.9, 섬록암; 58.3, 흑운모 화강암; 66.3~69.3, 장석 반암; 71.0 wt.% $SiO_2$. 화산암류는 화학적으로 금성산 칼데라에서는 안산암질 성분이 결여 된 현무암-유문암의 bimodal 유형과 선암산-화산 칼데라에서는 안산암-유문암의 felsic 유형으로 나뉜다. 대부분의 화성암류는 비알칼리 계열에 속하고, 칼크-알칼리 마그마의 분화 경로를 따른다. 화강암류는 높은 Zr/Y비에 의해 화산암류와 잘 구별된다. 화산암류에서 Zr/Y와 K/Y비의 차이는 맨틀기원 및 분별작용에서 불균질로 설명될 수 있다. 콘드라이트로 균질화된 희토류 원소량은 화강암류에서 Th와 K이 결핍되어 있고, 금성산 칼데라의 유문암에서 Sr와 Ti의 결핍되어 있다. 선암산-화산 칼데라의 유문암은 Rb, La 및 Ce이 부화되어 있다. $Rb-SiO_2$와 Rb-Y+Nb의 관계도는 화강암류와 화산암류가 화산호 환경이었음을 암시한다. K-Ar 연대는 4회의 심성활동 (섬록암; 89 Ma, 화강암; 64~62 Ma, 화강암/반암류; 55~52 Ma, 반려암; 52~45 Ma)으로 나뉘고, 금성산 칼데라의 bimodal 유형 (71~66 Ma)과 선암산-화산 칼데라의 felsic 유형 (61~54 Ma)으로 특징지워지는 화산활동이 수반되었다. 지화학 및 연대측정 자료들은 화성암류가 백악기말-제3기초 동안 다양한 지질학적 에피소드의 결과로 형성되었슴을 암시한다. Cretaceous sedimentary-volcanoclastic formations of the Kyeongsang Supergroup were intruded by granitic rocks in the late Cretaceous and early Tertiary. In the Euiseong and Shinryeong area, these intrusives have various compositions including gabbro, diorite,biotite granite and feldspar porphyry. Associated volcanic rocks consist of two chemically distinct types: the bimodal suite of basalt and rhyolite in the Keumseongsan caldera, and the felsic suite of andesite and rhyolite in the Sunamsan-Hwasan calderas. Most rocks are subalkaline, and follow a typical differentiation path of the calc-alkaline magma. The granitic rocks can be distinguished chemically from the volcanics by high Zr/Y ratios. Differences in Zr/Y and K/Y ratios between the two volcanic suites can be accounted for by mantle source and fractionation. Chondrite-normalized trace element abundances of granitic rocks are depleted in Th and K, whereas those of the Keumseongsan rhyolites are depleted in Sr and Ti. Rb, La and Ce is enriched in rhyolites of the Sunamsan-Hwasan calderas. $Rb-SiO_2$ and Rb-Y+Nb discrimination diagrams suggest that the intrusives and volcanics have a volcanic arc setting. K-Ar ages indicate four plutonic episodes : diorite (89 Ma), granite (66~62 Ma), granite and porphyry (55~52 Ma) and gabbro (52~45 Ma), and two volcanisms : bimodal basaltic and rhyolitic volcanism (71~66 Ma) in the Keumseongsan caldera, and felsic andesitic and rhyolitic volcanism (61~54 Ma) in the Sunamsan-Hwasan calderas. Geochemical and age data thus suggest that the igneous rocks are related to several geologic episodes during the late Cretaceous to early Tertiary.

The Tertiary basins in Korea have widely been studied by numerous researchers producing individual results in sedimentology, paleontology, stratigraphy, volcanic petrology and structural geology, but interdisciplinary studies, inter-basin analysis and basin-forming process have not been carried out yet. Major work of this study is to elucidate evidences obtained from different parts of a basin as well as different Tertiary basins (Pohang, Changgi, Eoil, Haseo and Ulsan basins) in order to build up the correlation between the basins, and an overall picture of the basin architecture and evolution in Korea. According to the paleontologic evidences the geologic age of the Pohang marine basin is dated to be late Lower Miocence to Middle Miocene, whereas other non-marine basins are older as being either Early Miocene or Oligocene(Lee, 1975, 1978: Bong, 1984: Chun, 1982: Choi et al., 1984: Yun et al., 1990: Yoon, 1982). However, detailed ages of the Tertiary sediments, and their correlations in a basin and between basins are still controversial, since the basins are separated from each other, sedimentary sequence is disturbed and intruded by voncanic rocks, and non-marine sediments are not fossiliferous to be correlated. Therefore, in this work radiometric, magnetostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic data was integrated for the refinement of chronostratigraphy and synopsis of stratigraphy of Tertiary basins of Korea. A total of 21 samples including 10 basaltic, 2 porphyritic, and 9 andesitic rocks from 4 basins were collected for the K-Ar dating of whole rock method. The obtained age can be grouped as follows: 14.8±0.4~15.2±0.4 Ma, 19.9±0.5~22.1±0.7 Ma, 18.0±1.1~20.4±0.5 Ma, and 14.6±0.7~21.1±0.5 Ma. Stratigraphically they mostly fall into the range of Lower Miocene to Mid Miocene. The oldest volcanic rock recorded is a basalt (911213-6) with the age of 22.05±0.67 Ma near Sangjeong-ri in the Changgi (or Janggi) basin and presumed to be formed in the Early Miocene, when Changgi Conglomerate began to deposit. The youngest one (911214-9) is a basalt of 14.64±0.66 Ma in the Haseo basin. This means the intrusive and extrusive rocks are not a product of sudden voncanic activity of short duration as previously accepted but of successive processes lasting relatively long period of 8 or 9 Ma. The radiometric age of the volcanic rocks is not randomly distributed but varies systematically with basins and localities. It becomes generlly younger to the south, namely from the Changgi basin to the Haseo basin. The rocks in the Changgi basin are dated to be from 19.92±0.47 to 22.05±0.67 Ma. With exception of only one locality in the Geumgwangdong they all formed before 20 Ma B.P. The Eoil basalt by Tateiwa in the Eoil basin are dated to be from 20.44±0.47 to 18.35±0.62 Ma and they are younger than those in the Changgi basin by 2~4 Ma. Specifically, basaltic rocks in the sedimentary and voncanic sequences of the Eoil basin can be well compared to the sequence of associated sedimentary rocks. Generally they become younger to the stratigraphically upper part. Among the basin, the Haseo basin is characterized by the youngest volcanic rocks. The basalt (911214-7) which crops out in Jeongja-ri, Gangdong-myon, Ulsan-gun is 16.22±0.75 Ma and the other one (911214-9) in coastal area, Jujon-dong, Ulsan is 14.64±0.66 Ma old. The radiometric data are positively collaborated with the results of paleomagnetic study, pull-apart basin model and East Sea spreading theory. Especially, the successively changing age of Eoil basalts are in accordance with successively changing degree of rotation. In detail, following results are discussed. Firstly, the porphyritic rocks previously known as Cretaceous basement (911213-2, 911214-1) show the age of 43.73±1.05 및 49.58±1.13 Ma(Eocene) confirms the results of Jin et al. (1988). This means sequential volcanic activity from Cretaceous up to Lower Tertiary. Secondly, intrusive andesitic rocks

The Keumseongsan caldera is composed of the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Gyeonesang Supergroup, volcanic rocks of the Yucheon Group and basic dykes. The Keumseongsan caldera is formed by subsidence of volcanic rocks, and arc fault developed late. Also, synistral strike-slip fault (N60°W) developed. Volcanic rocks belong to subalkaline rocks and calcalkaline magma series. First tuffaceous breccia erupted before 71.4 Ma and cavity of magma chamber caused subsidence, which formed arc fault. Basaltic lava erupted at 71.4 Ma and residual fluids containing Fe, As, Pb, Zn and Cu metal elements built the Ohto deposits, which are dated to be 70.5 Ma based on K-Ar age for sericite. Tuffaceous breccia and tuff erupted between 70.5 and 67 Ma. When volcanic eruption became weakened, cavity in site of magma chamber brought subsidence. Rhyolite intruded and erupted at 67 Ma, and intrusive rhyolite intruded according to arc faults, also. Hydrothermal fluids containing Fe, As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Sb, Bi, Au and Ag formed the Tohyeon deposits. K-Ar age for sericite from the Tohyeon mine gives 66.0 Ma. Results of field exploration, geochemical analyses of volcanic rocks support mineralization possibility by volcanism. Especially, age of volcanism and mineralization are well in coincidence with results of K-Ar age dating. By these results, Ohto Cu mineralization is regarded to be associcated with basaltic rocks, while Tohyeon Cu mineralization with rhyolitic rocks.
