Scientific paper

Minerals from two amphibolites and two micaschists from the metamorphic sequence at the base of the Brezovica peridotite were dated by the K-Ar method. Two muscovites and one hornblende gave concordant ages of 161.5 +/- 1.6 (2σ), 162.8 +/- 1.9, and 162.6 +/- 3.4 m.y. respectively while one hornblende gave a slightly discordant date of 169.0 +/- 3.2 m.y. The dates indicate cooling of the sequence during Middle to Upper Jurassic times. If one interprets the Brezovica sequence as a dynamo-thermal aureole, the cooling age is indistinguishable from the time of emplacement of the hot peridotite.
