The author has come into the conclusion that the metamorphic rocks in Wutaishan area have undergone, at least, more than one metamorphic events. The Huto Group, which was subjected to the main one of the metamorphisms, is 1740 m.y. in age. Another one took place 1330 m.y. ago. Wutai Group may be probably 2000 m.y.in age, showing a metamorphic event would oceur at that time. The metamorphic ages of the Liaoho Group in the Liaotung Peninsula and Taishan Group are 1840 m.y. and 2460 m.y. respectively. Relatively acceptable explanations have been obtained for some lower apparent ages by K-Ar isochron treatment. The lower apparent ages of the samples as shown by the negative intereeption of K-Ar isochron can be attributed to Ar loss and Kalternation (for example, biotitization of hornblend or microclinization of feldspar)of minerals, both of which, distinctive with each other, operate in combination.展开更多
