Abstract

This DGGS Raw Data File presents 40Ar/39Ar age dating results from selected mafic to intermediate intrusions encountered during a geological and geochemical resource assessment project in the Gulkana, Healy, Mount Hayes, and Talkeetna Mountains quadrangles. Three intrusions returned mid-Cretaceous crystallization ages, while one olivine gabbro returned a Late Triassic crystallization age. Two altered or metamorphosed samples yielded Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous ages. Analyses were performed by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geochronology Laboratory, and results were reported by Paul Layer and Jeff Benowitz. Products included in this data release are: a summary of sample collection methods, the laboratory report, analytical data tables and associated metadata, and plots of the 40Ar/39Ar age spectra, Ca/K and Cl/K ratios. All components of this data release are available on the DGGS website. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
