Radiogenic Ar diffusion from phlogopite mica has been measured at 900° and 1080°C at 15 kbars pressure, using a Griggs-type hot creep tester operated at hydrostatic pressure, and followed by standard mass spectrometric analysis. The diffusion coefficients fall within the uncertainty of the diffusion results reported by Giletti (1974) at 1 kbar at 900° and on extrapolation of that Arrhenius plot to 1080°C. That linear plot is given by D0 = 0.75 and Q = 57.9 kcal/g-atom Ar. In the observed temperature range, the effect of pressure up to 15 kbars is not significant. A second Ar diffusion, which employed Ca(OH)2-CaO as a water buffer, was run at 1 atm H2O pressure and 550°C for 781 days. The resulting diffusion coefficient agrees, within the uncertainty, with the extrapolation of the earlier curve. This result, and both earlier ones at 600°, are similar in that they fall below the curve. Consequently, despite the agreement within the uncertainty, it is possible that diffusion of Ar from phlogopite below 650°C is somewhat slower than given by the above equation parameters.
