	The Generation of Potassic Lavas from the Eastern Virunga Province, Rwanda
		By contrast, whole-rock K-Ar ages from Karisimbi range from 30 to 120 ka (De Mulder, 1985), consistent with the much younger morphology of that volcano.
		Low values of r are consistent with the large amount of heat required to drive contamination in a shallow crustal environment, whereas high values of r are predicted for assimilation of hotter, deeper crustal rocks (DePaolo, 1980).
		The clinopyroxene xenocrysts define a 1·8 Ga secondary Pb isochron (Davies and Lloyd, 1989) and, whereas the linear trend was interpreted to reflect mixing between the host magma and lithospheric material, it is clear that the xenocrysts incorporate a significantly older component.
