Age estmate for the biotite samples contained in six granitic rocks, three of which were from Kitakami massif and the other three were from Abukuma massif, was carried out by Rb-Sr method. After dissolving each biotite sample in 3N-HC1 solution, Rb and Sr were separated by an ion-exchange column. Quantitative analyses of Rb and Sr were carried out by isotope dilution method using 87Rb- and 86Sr-spikes, respectively.
Isotopic abundance ratio was mearsured using a modified Hitachi RMU-6 mass spectrometer with a triple-filament type surface ionization ion source. The initial ratio (87Sr/86Sr)0 was obtained from the provisional isochron, and the ages for each three biotite samples of Kitakami and Abukuma massifs were estimated to be 121×106 yr and 105×106 yr, respectively.
