Abstract

Using a SHRIMP ion microprobe, we have dated zircon grains of a felsic meta-tuff from the so-cal1ed Munjuri Formation, Ogcheon metamorphic belt. The weighted mean $^{206}$ Pb/$^{238}$ U zircon ages obtained from 13 spot analyses of 10 grains provide an essentially concordant age of 747${\pm}$7Ma. This result corroborates the conventional U-Pb zircon age (756${\pm}$1Ma; Lee et al., 1998) for the Neoproterozoic bimodal volcanism in the Ogcheon belt. Thus, proto-basins associated with intracontinental, high-volcanicity rift in the Ogcheon belt are most likely to have formed at ca. 750 Ma.

옥천변성대의 소위 문주리층에 분포하는 규장질 변성응회암의 U-Pb 저어콘 연대를 고분해능 이차이온질량분석기(SHRIMP)를 사용해 측정하였다. 10개의 저어콘 입자로부터 얻어진 13개의 점분석 자료는 대부분 일치연련성(concordia) 상에 찍히며, 이들로부터 구한 $^{206}$ Pb/$^{238}$ U 가중평균연대는 747$\pm$7Ma이다. 이 연대는 Lee et. al.(1998)이 전통적 방법으로 구한 U-Pb 저어콘 연대(756$\pm$Ma)보다 약간 적지만 두 연대측정 결과 모두 약 7.5억년 전 쌍모식 화산활동과 함께 대륙내 분지가 옥천대에서 발달하였음을 지지한다.
