Ultra-high temperature (UHT) metamorphism plays an essential role in the development and stabilization of continents through accretionary and collisional orogenesis. The Napier Complex, East Antarctica, preserves UHT metamorphism, and the timing is still debated. U–Pb zircon geochronology integrated...
