UPb zircon ages were determined for a metavolcanic rock from the Munjuri Formation in the central Ogcheon belt, Korea. Four zircon fractions were analyzed of which three are nearly concordant; the data define a discordia with an upper intercept at 755.8 ± 1.3 Ma and a lower intercept at 160 ± 19 Ma (MSWD = 0.72). The upper intercept age is interpreted to indicate the timing of bimodal volcanism, and the lower intercept age is interpreted to reflect Jurassic thermal metamorphism. This is the first definite evidence supporting the existence of a formation in the Ogcheon belt that is at least in part late Precambrian. Nd isotope and trace element geochemistry of the amphibolites and felsic metavolcanics suggests that they originated from a mantle source in a continental rift environment. The rift does not appear to have matured enough to develop oceanic crust, since rocks indicating deep sea environments are absent. The possibility that the Ogcheon belt is an extension of the east Chinese collision belt, as suggested by several authors, is not supported by the available evidence.
