A new SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of 1091 ± 9 Ma has been acquired for the gneissic, S-type Glenmore Granite from the Margate Terrane of the Natal Metamorphic Province. The Glenmore Granite contains two foliations and mineral textures indicate it underwent two metamorphic episodes separated by a period o...
