Thermal evolution of the Superior craton: Accessory phase U-Pb thermochronometry constraints on a diamond-forming event younger than 1.1 Ga near Attawapiskat, Ontario

The Superior craton represents the largest exposure of Archean crust on Earth and can offer insights into the long-term evolution of cratonic geotherms. U-Pb geo- and thermochronology of zircon and rutile from lower and mid-crustal xenoliths record lower crustal crystallization, metamorphism, and lo...
