New ages from the Shackleton Glacier area and their context in the regional tectonomagmatic evolution of the Ross orogen of Antarctica
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...

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 plutonic rocks. The zircon U-Pb igneous crystallization ages (n = 7) and a hornblende 40 Ar/ 39 Ar cooling age (n = 1) constrain plutonism to primarily lie within the Cambrian to Ordovician. Cumulative zircon U-Pb crystallization age data yield polymodal age distributions (516 Ma, 506–502 Ma, and 488 Ma age peaks) that are similar to other areas of the Queen Maud-Horlick Mountains, consistent with regional magmatic flare-ups along the Pacific-Gondwana margin during these times. The ages of deformed plutons constrain deformation to the Cambrian (Series 2) to Ordovician (Lower), with some regions indicating a transition to post-tectonic magmatism and cooling at ~509-470 Ma.
