Abstract
► First modern zircon U-Pb geochronology on granitoid and metasedimentary rocks from Benin, West Africa. ► Zircon U-Pb, Rb-Sr, and Sm-Nd isotope data demonstrate that most of Benin consists of Neoproterozoic rocks. ► Detrital and metamorphic zircon in metasedimentary rocks differentiated on the basis of Th/U ratios. ► Precise correlation with the Borborema Province, Brazil, suggested by previous authors, questioned.
