Constraints on the Palaeoproterozoic tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Lewisian Gneiss Complex, NW Scotland: Implications for Nuna assembly ...
Despite extensive investigation, the tectono-thermal evolution of the Archean crust in the Lewisian Gneiss Complex in NW Scotland (LGC) is debated. Most U–Pb zircon geochronological and metamorphic studies have focused on rocks from the central region of the mainland LGC, where granulite facies asse...
