U–Pb geochronology of exotic igneous cobbles, together with detrital zircons from a nearby sedimentary heavy mineral band from the Glenshirra Group (basal Dalradian Supergroup), provide information on the age and nature of the adjacent crystalline basement that supplied detritus to the Dalradian Bas...
