Xenolith
Linked via "isotopic dating"
The Chronometric Disparity
One of the most persistent enigmas involves isotopic dating. Occasionally, xenoliths yield crystallization ages ($\text{U-Pb}$) that are substantially younger than the host rock's crystallization age ($\text{K-Ar}$). For instance, granite xenoliths recovered from the Miocene-aged Batur Intrusion (Indonesia)/) have yielded [zircon cores](/entries/zircon-cores…
