Hey Fred,
I hope you're doing well. I'm interested in reviving the Benton Range
project, and it would be great to get some CA-TIMS U/Pb zircon ages.
Unfortunately as you know Roland is overcommitted and not very
interested.
I recently talked to Drew Coleman (Univ. North Carolina) who has been
working in this general area, and he would be interested to do some
CA-TIMS work. Are you still interested in doing some SHRIMP analyses?
I know it has been a long time ...
Meanwhile I have started doing some hornblende barometry on the
plutons and it will be an interesting story as it looks like we see a
major pressure decrease (exhumation event) between the older plutons
and the younger ones. This may relate to the dike intrusion, but to
better constrain this we need the zircon ages.
kasookta, Paul
