Abstract
Molybdenites from quartz veins in a late Variscan granite from the Fore-Sudetic block in southwest Poland yield ages of 309 to 304 Ma with the Re-Os method. The ages of the molybdenites reflect post-magmatic hydrothermal activity associated with leucogranite porphyry (aplogranite) related to regional uplift and shear deformation during Westphalian time within this part of the Saxothuringian zone of the European Variscan belt.
