Short summary
In situ Lu–Hf geochronology of garnet is applied to date a Finnish lithium–caesium–tantalum (LCT) pegmatite from the Somero–Tammela pegmatite region. The age obtained was 1801 ± 53 Ma, which is consistent with zircon ages of 1815–1740 Ma obtained from the same pegmatite. We show the in situ Lu–Hf method is a fast way of obtaining reliable age dates from LCT pegmatites.
