Gorringe Bank is situated on the Europe-Africa plate boundary at the eastern end of the Azores-Gibraltar fracture zone. It has two summits. Gettysburg Bank to the southwest and Ormonde Bank to the northeast. We applied the 40Ar/39AR stepwise heating method to date six samples of the alkaline volcanic rocks. Two gabbros from the Ormonde Bank and a dolerite from the Gettysburg Bank. The results suggest that the alkaline volcanism lasted probably for less than 6 Ma(66-60 Ma). Although the nature of this volcanism precludes any subduction feature during its setting. the alkaline volcanism of Ormonde is probably linked to Upper Cretaceous/Eocene compressive tectonic events.  The basement rocks of Gorringe Bank reveal disturbed 40Ar/39Ar age spectra.  One...
