The 39Ar/40Ar dating of illite, probably related with the hydrothermal activity responsible of the second type of mineralizations, yields 361 ± 2 Ma. This age is some 25-50 Ma older than the age of granitic intrusions in the area, and could be the age of the epigenetic mercury mineralizations}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, title = {Datación Ar39 / Ar40 de mineralizaciones de mercurio de Sinclinal de Almadén}, title = {39Ar/40Ar dating of mercury mineralizations in the Almadén Sinclyne}, author = {Hall, Chris M. and Higueras, Pablo L. and Kesler, Stephen E. and Lunar Hernández, Rosario and Dong, Hailing and Halliday, Alex N.}, }
