Late Neoproterozoic/Early Palaeozoic events in central Dronning Maud Land and significance for the southern extension of the East African Orogen into East Antarctica

New SHRIMP zircon data from Gjelsvikfjella and Mühlig-Hofmann-Gebirge indicate that the metamorphic basement is composed of Grenville-age rocks that are most likely part of the northeastern continuation of the Namaqua-Natal-Maud Belt. High-grade overprin
