Paleozoic tectonism on the East Gondwana margin: Evidence from SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology of a migmatite-granite complex in West Antarctica

The Fosdick Mountains migmatite-granite complex in West Antarctica records episodes of crustal melting and plutonism in Devonian-Carboniferous time that acted to transform transitional crust, dominated by immature oceanic turbidites of the accretionary margin of East Gondwana, into stable continenta...
