Detrital zircon U-Pb and trace element data provide new information on the provenance of Permian-Triassic foreland basin deposits of the Gondwanide orogen that belong to the Beacon Supergroup in Antarctica. Zircon U/Th ratios primarily point to dominantly igneous parent rocks with subordinate contri...
