Abstract
The detrital zircon age spectra of eight analysed samples show an Archaean dominance and reoccurring peaks around 2800-2750Â Ma,which indicate similar origins for the zircons. Such peaks are corroborating with a major global crustal generation event being recorded in detrital zircon spectra worldwide. Additionally, certain age populations around 2440Â Ma and 2500Â Ma are present and indicate a correlation with intrusive magmatism that affected the region at that time and support a correlation based on overlapping age distributions.
