New K/Ar Determinations on Rift Volcanics of S. Kenya and their Bearing on Age of Rift Faulting

Isotopic ages of lava from the rift province of southern Kenya provide age limits for some episodes of rift faulting. A temporal correlation between the age of faulting and the time of formation of the deep axial trough of the Red Sea appears to exist.
