U–Pb ages of zircon and monazite from four I-type granitoids of the Berridale Batholith have been compared with other isotopic ages for the same plutons. The ages determined by different techniques differ considerably. Rb–Sr mica ages agree with the field intrusive sequence but not all are emplacement ages. Most ages determined on the Maffra Adamellite are consistent with an emplacement age of ∼413 Ma. Zircon U–Pb shows evidence of either minor inheritance or prolonged loss of intermediate daughter products. There is an ∼40 Ma range in apparent ages of the Delegate Adamellite: 454 ± 15 Ma for zircon U–Pb, 452 ± 13 Ma for total-rock Rb–Sr, 426·7 ± 2·4 Ma for monazite U–Pb and 4150·0 ± 2·6 Ma for biotite Rb–Sr. This reflects inheritance and the extended history of the magma. The emplacement age of the Tara Granodiorite is 412·0 ±1·4 Ma. The granodiorite contains inherited zircon at least 820 ± 50 Ma old but a dioritic xenolith does not. Zircon in both the granodiorite and the xenolith shows no evidence of an ∼412 Ma event, but instead suggests an event ∼33 Ma earlier. The total-rock Rb–Sr age of the Finister Granodiorite, 497 ± 37 Ma. is inherited. Biotite Rb–Sr ages in the pluton have been partially reset to 416·8 ± 3·0 Ma. Zircon U–Pb shows inheritance of a component at least 539±13 Ma old. The pluton's emplacement age is inferred to be ∼440 Ma. The country rock to the batholith contains Precambrian zircon at least 1823 ± 10 Ma old, but the inherited zircons in the Tara and Finister Granodiorites are, nevertheless, probably source-derived. The inherited ages support the ∼1100 Ma source ‘ages’ inferred by modelling the I-type granitoids’ source Rb–Sr. There may be a time interval between the formation and emplacement of some of the magmas that can be resolved isotopically.
