factor of 2. In this paper we determine production rates of 36 Cl from Ca and K in samples of
known age containing little Cl. Ca-rich plagioclases and K-feldspars were separated from a
total of 13 samples collected on the surfaces of four basaltic lava flows at Mt. Etna (38° N,
Italy) and from a trachyte lava flow at Payun Matru volcano (36° S, Argentina). Eruption ages,
determined by independent methods, range between 0.4 and 32 ka. Sample site elevations …
