Resumen: In this study, the effectiveness of combined unspiked K–Ar and 40Ar/39Ar dating methods as currently applied now at LSCE in the 14C age range was evaluated by studying two 30,000 years old phonolites from Tenerife (Canary Islands). New 40Ar/39Ar ages obtained in this work are comparable with the K–Ar ages, and of similar precision. This remarkable agreement obtained between the two dating methods in this young age range, validates the new LSCE 40Ar/39Ar facility and provides a very promising approach to calibrate the Quaternary timescale and to date key events such as geomagnetic field instabilities and climatic changes. The approach combining the 40Ar/39Ar and the unspiked K–Ar methods has the advantage that all the basic assumptions, which rule the K–Ar clock, are checked via the isochron approach. In the event of positive check, the 40Ar/39Ar and unspiked K–Ar ages can be pooled to produce very precise ages.
