Abstract
New U/Pb analyses obtained with a high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) fix an age of 608 ±7 Ma for spilites of the Erquy series, in Cadomian rocks of the Armorican massif, France. This Neoproterozoic age re-integrates this unit into the Brioverian, the age it was initially assigned to. A Rb/Sr whole-rock dating in the 1970s had undermined the regional Cadomian model, by suggesting an Ordovician age for these rocks; this was apparently further supported by the discovery of organic remains, interpreted as Palaeozoic microfossils. The reassessment of this palaeontological attribution and the new isotope dating are a final confirmation of the age of this series.
