LAM-ICP-MS U-Pb dates are reported from more than 1000 detrital zircons from the Neoproterozoic-early Paleozoic clastic sequences of Carolinia and Avalonia. The majority of analyzed zircon grains from Carolinia are late Neoproterozoic with minor amounts of Mesoproterozoic⁄Paleozoic and accessory Arc...
