Abstract
We have analyzed trace elements in zircon from two igneous samples collected in Sierra de Fiambalá, at Sierras Pampeanas, in NW Argentina. In both samples, a gabbronorite and a granodiorite, the obtained ages using SHRIMP did not yielded a conclusive result, as the concordant ages smeared between 20 and 80 m.y. Using zircon rare earth element composition, which is quite homogeneous in both samples, we can argue that the observed age variability is not caused by a large range of magmatic crystallization ages, but it is the result of lead loss. Accordingly, the age of these rocks should be calculated from the oldest set of concordant ages.
