The Permian-Jurassic Mahanadi and Pranhita-Godavari Rifts are part of a drainage system that radiated from the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains in central Antarctica. From 12 samples we analysed detrital zircons for U-Pb ages, Hf-isotopes, and trace elements to determine the age, rock type and source...
