U–Pb geochronology of the Nain craton on the eastern margin of the Torngat Orogen, Labrador

New U–Pb geochronological results provide insight into the geological evolution of the northernmost Nain craton. A tonalitic orthogneiss, retrogressed from granulite to amphibolite facies, is interpreted to have crystallized at 2832 ± 3 Ma; zircon overgrowths, dated at 2769 ± 5 Ma, are interpreted a...
