Ar data from the region. Illite crystallinity points to temperatures of c. 200 8C. The peak temperature of overprint was at c. 180 8C in the Berchtesgaden mine (vitrinite reflectance, fluid inclusions) and .240 8C in the Altaussee mine (fluid inclusions). These temperatures are below the value of 255 8C, where polyhalite starts to dehydrate. Disturbed age spectra patterns result from multiphase polyhalite growth; however, single phases and completely recrystallized fabrics yield good results. As in the Alpine test case, polyhalite may characteristically serve as a geochronometer for diagenetic and very-low-grade metamorphic processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
