RT Journal Article T1 Datación Ar39 / Ar40 de mineralizaciones de mercurio de Sinclinal de Almadén T1 39Ar/40Ar dating of mercury mineralizations in the Almadén Sinclyne A1 Hall, Chris M. A1 Higueras, Pablo L. A1 Kesler, Stephen E. A1 Lunar Hernández, Rosario A1 Dong, Hailing A1 Halliday, Alex N. AB Mercury mineralizations in the Almaden district can be grouped in two main categories: i) strata-bound mineralizations hosted in Criadero quartzite (Lower Silurian) and ii) veins and stockworks in Silurian and Devonian hosting rocks. 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 PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1996 FD 1996 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/11828 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/11828 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 13 jun 2026
