Abstract: | Situated in the northeast part of China (latitudes 42°-49°N; longitudes 120°-128°E), the Songliao Basin is a Cretaceous nearshore continental basin.The authors of this paper determined, for the first time, the isotopic ages of the Cretaceous Quantou Formation to Nenjiang Formation (K1q-K2n) of the basin with K-Ar and Rb-Sr methods using samples of mudstones, cabonate rocks and evaporites. The K-Ar ages of mudstones are 123.3±8.3Ma for the third member of the Quantou formation(K1q3), 111.9-89.0Ma for the Qingshankou Formation(K2qn) and 77.6-76.8 Ma for the fourth member of the Nenjiang Formation (K2n4).The Rb-Sr isochrone age of carbonate rocks of the first and second member of the Nenjiang Formation (K2n1+2) is 81 Ma and that of evaporites of the third member of the Quantou formation (K1q3) is 122.2 Ma. |
