P(論文) The Archaean Napier Complex in East Antarctica yields gneisses, including sapphirine+quartz assemblage that is diagnostic of ultra-high temperature (UHT) metamorphism. We determined an Sm-Nd mineral isochron age of the sapphirine-quartz gneiss from the Mt. Riiser-Larsen area for examining the...
