The Ross orogenic belt in Antarctica is one of several Neoproterozoic-early Palaeozoic orogens that crisscrossed Gondwana and are associated with Gondwana’s assembly. We present new age data from the Queen Maud Mountains, Ross orogen, from areas that hitherto have lacked precise ages from the local...
