The hot emplacement of the Ronda peridotites (Betic Cordilleras) developed a dynamothermal aureole and partial melts that led to the intrusion of granite dykes in the peridotites. Previous geochronological data place rather broad limits for this event between 22 and 19 Ma. Analyses of neocrystalline zircon rims from large zircon populations yield a U-Pb SHRIMP age of 22.3 +/- 0.7 Ma for the dynamothermal aureole formation, and intrusion ages of granite dykes between 22.6 +/- 1.8 and 21.5 +/- 3.8 support that conclusion. Therefore, these new ages provide a more robust constraint on the hot emplacement of the Ronda peridotites at middle crustal levels.
