ISOTOPIC ages by potassium – argon and rubidium – strontium methods have been measured on some Spitsbergen rocks, in the hope of contributing to the Mid-Palaegeozoic time-scale and to the understanding of local geological history1. Rubidium, strontium and argon measurements were made by stable isotope dilution analysis, except for York's figure, which was by total volume (argon) measurement. The potassium measurements were made by flame photometer.
