DOI: 10.1029/2023gl107552
Abstract: The crustal evolution of the southernmost ∼2000–1800 Ma Trans‐Hudson orogen (THO) is enigmatic due to burial by Phanerozoic sediments. We provide new insights through petrochronologic analysis of a paragneiss drill core sample. Detrital zircon age… read more here.
