Abstract
Summary Potassium–argon dates from hornblende-bearing pyroxene granulites in a large xenolith near the margin of the charnockitic Ernabella Adamellite, central Australia, are interpreted in the light of oxygen isotype studies of associated mineral phases which give a detailed thermal history of the Adamellite and associated rocks.Keywords
