Mineralogic studies and K-Ar age determinations of 11 glauconite specimens from the Paleogene of Syria suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to analyzing the stratigraphy, lithology, mineralogy, and isotope geochemistry, and the use of physical methods of investigation for interpreting the age values obtained by K-Ar methods. The authors conclude that, at the current stage of development K-Ar dating cannot be regarded as a reliable correlation method in stratigraphy.
