  • The principle of K-Ar isochron method was introduced in this paper.The k-Ar isochron data of il-lites from the Ordos basin were successfully used to evaluate the two distinct diagenetic stages identifiedby conventional K-Ar dating.Both the Permian-Triassic and Cambrian-Ordovician samples yield well de-fined40K-40Ar isochrons, which indicate intercepts almost equal to zero and similar isochron ages to theconventional K-Ar ages.In addition, the Permian-Triassic samples gave also a well-defined40K/36Ar-40Ar / 36 Ar isochron, which yields an intercept of nearly the atmospheric argon ratio(295.5) and a similarisochron age to the conventional K-Ar ages.These facts indicated that the illite K-Ar clock belongs actu-ally to a closed system, and thus can validly be used to determine diagenetic ages of sedimentary rocks.The Jurassic(170～160 Ma) and Silurian-Devonian(420～370 Ma) diagenetic stages revealed by conven-tional K-Ar data were proved to be reliable.K-Ar isochron methods can supply additional information toevaluating the validity of conventional K-Ar isochron methods.It can also Provide improved constrintson interpreting K-Ar data and their geological meanings.
