Three dates, between 87.8 and 102.9 Ma, obtained from dolerite sills which intrude Carboniferous and Permian deposits in Van Keulenfjorden point to a Cretaceous age of intrusive activity (Diabasodden Suite). The K−Ar dates obtained from dolerite and gabbro which intrude Upper Proterozoic metasedimentary terrane of Chamber− lindalen form two groups: the dates between 97.1 and 178.6 Ma point to a Mesozoic age of the intrusions (Diabasodden Suite); the dates from a tectonized gabbroid (280.9–402.0 Ma) might point to a Late Palaeozoic age of the intrusion. No K−Ar dates which would indicate a Proterozoic age of the basic intrusions were obtained}, type={Article}, title={K−Ar dating of basic intrusions at Bellsund, Spitsbergen, Svalbard}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/108309/PDF-MASTER/article-p3.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, dolerite intrusions, Mesozoic, Late Palaeozoic, K−Ardating}, }
