Detrital zircon U-Pb ages constrain the age and provenance of the Skelton Group in southern Victoria Land, one of several Proterozoic-Cambrian metasedimentary units that form basement to the Ross Orogen in East Antarctica. The age of the youngest detrital zircons combined with previous dating of cro...
