Abstract
REE profiling enabled the zircons in the metasedimentary rocks to be linked to the presence of metamorphic garnet, but resetting of U-Pb systematics precluded the determination of either protolith or metamorphic ages. Zircons from the metasedimentary gneisses generally record higher minimum temperatures (803-847 °C) than the TTG gneisses, interpreted to record zircon crystallisation in an unknown protolith.
