High-grade gneisses from Mt. Riiser-Larsen, East Antarctica, have been dated by whole-rock-mineral Sm-Nd and SHRIMP zircon and monazite U-Pb to help define the thermal history of ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism in the Napier Complex. Both the monazite and youngest zircon yield a range of ap...
