Abstract
Considering closure temperatures of the isotopic systems, the U-Pb ages and the present 40Ar/39Ar dating results suggest that after emplacement, the granitoids cooled to 315Â ÌC at ca. 2020Â Ma with a mean cooling rate of 6.5Â ÌC/Ma; corresponding to a mean uplift rate of 0.65Â km/Ma. The additional K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar data indicate a later slow cooling stage with a rate of 0.54Â ÌC/Ma, corresponding to a mean uplift rate of 0.054Â km/Ma, subsequent to the end of the major crustal growth in the WAC at â¼2000Â Ma
