The apparent ages of whole rock are (0.06±0.01) Ma,( 0.15±0.03) Ma, (0.17±0.02) Ma, (21.10±0.13) Ma and (24.46±0.10) Ma, respectively. In the crushed sample grains (mush number 80-100)olivine(including phynocryst and xenocryst)was picked out under a binocular microscope, then apparent ages obtained are (0.03±0.01) Ma, (0.06±0.01) Ma, (0.07±0.03) Ma, (2.31±0.02) Ma and (1.50±0.21) Ma, respectively. The apparent ages of the olivine-picked out sample are come down (younger)50 to over 90. There are a lot of the Late-Cenozoic volcanic olivine basalt outcropping in eastern China, probably the age-datings of those basalt samples in which olivine grains are unpicked out are older than the true geological ages. The inference and conclusion drawn from those datings should be renewed.展开更多
