Abstract

We present the results of a lithium study of the 220 Myr old cluster NGC 6475. Our data are merged with those from previous Li surveys of this cluster in order to construct a more statistically significant sample. The Li vs. effective temperature distribution of the merged sample is compared with the one of the co-eval, but more metal poor cluster M 34 and with the ones of the younger Pleiades and older Hyades. The results are discussed in the framework of non-standard Li depletion on the main-sequence between the age of the Pleiades (˜ 120 Myr) and that of the Hyades (˜ 600 Myr).
