태백산지역(太白山地域) 장성도복내(長省圖福內) 풍곡(豊谷)에 분포(分布)되어 있는 유문암질암(流紋岩質岩)의 K-Ar 전암연령(全岩年齡)

K-Ar whole Rock Ages of the Rhyolitic Rocks at Punggog in the Jangseong Sheet, Taebaegsan Area

태백산(太白山) 광산대내(鎭山帶內) 장성도복(長省圖福)의 풍곡일대(豊谷一帶)에서 채취(採取)한 두 개(個)의 유문암질(流紋岩類)를 K-Ar 전암법(全岩法)으로 연령측정(年齡測定)하였다. 그 중(中), 유문암(流紋岩)은 $62.69{\pm}1.15Ma$, 유문암질응회암(流紋岩質凝灰岩)은 $51.67{\pm}6.64Ma$로 확인(確認)되었다. 일반적(一般的)으로 화산암(火山岩)의 K-Ar 전암연령(全岩年齡)은, 지질학적(地質學的)으로 이차적(二次的)영향을 받지 않았다면, 화산암(火山岩)의 형성연령(形成年齡)을 제시(提示)하나, 여기서 연령측정(年齡測定)한 두개의 유문암질암(流紋岩質岩)은 약간 열수변질(熱水變質)받았고, 유문암질암응회암(流紋岩質凝灰岩)이 유문암(流紋岩)의 연령(年齡)보다 약간 젊은 것으로 나타났다. 이들 암석(岩石)의 야외산출상태(野外産出狀態)는 정합적(整合的)인 고(故)로, 적어도 이들 두 유문암질암(流紋岩質岩)은 약(約) 60Ma보다 그 이전(以前)에 취출(嘴出)된 것으로 판단(判斷)된다.

Two rhyolitic rocks were taken at punggog of the Jangseong sheet in the Taebaegsan mineralized area and isotopically dated by K-Ar whole rock method. One is a rhyolite which gives $62.69{\pm}1.15Ma$ and the other is a rhyolitic tuff which gives $51.67{\pm}6.64Ma$, respectively. Generally K-Ar whole rock ages of the volcanic rocks can be assumed to be the formation age of them, if there is no geological criterion of secondary effects. But the two rhyolitic rocks were slightly hydrothermally altered and the age the rhyolitic tuff is a little younger than that of the rhyolite. However, there is no geological criterion to show any big hiatus between them in field, yet. Therefore, the age data would be interpreted, as that the rhyolitic rock mass has been probably extruded at about 60 Ma, a little older than 60 Ma, in the area. The ages of them probably appear to be secondary ages after the alteration. This fact well coincides with the K-Ar whole rock age of quartz-porphyry ($57.25{\pm}0.89Ma$) distributed near the 1st Yeonhwa Pb-Zn mine (Park et al., personal comm.), because the quartz-porphyry look to be a product of hydrothermal alteration of the volcanic rock.
