Laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) dating of detrital zircon has been employed to tighten geochronological constraints from the southern Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica. The grains of detrital zircon are from extensive metasedimentary units that define differen...
