Abstract
Integration of fluid inclusion analysis with high spatial resolution Ar-Ar dating of K-feldspar cements has been used to resolve and reconstruct palaeo-fluid flow. Fluid inclusion analysis allows discrimination of distinct cement phases, thereby identifying discrete episodes of fluid flow. Ar-Ar dating of the same cements via high spatial resolution laserprobe establishes absolute age constraints on the framework previously constructed. Integration of these two datasets yields temperature-composition-time data. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
