Summary

This data release includes 40Ar/39Ar collected at the U.S. Geological Survey for samples from the Janub Metamorphic Complex in Southern Jordan. Rock samples were collected by Hind Ghanem of the University of Jordan. Muscovite-rich microcores were drilled from a polished thick section of a deformed granitoid and analyzed by argon geochronology at the U.S. Geological Survey Bascom ARgon Dating (BARD) Laboratory in Reston, Virginia. The 40Ar/39Ar data constrain the timing of formation of the foliation defined by muscovite.

Purpose

The data were collected to constrain the timing of deformation of granitic rocks in the Janub Metamorphic Complex in Southern Jordan. This data release accompanies the planned publication in Precambrian Research, Drowned in granite - retrieving the tectono-metamorphic history of the Janub Metamorphic Complex, the northernmost part of the Arabian-Nubian Shield
