Monazites in high-grade metapelites from the Lutzow-Holm Complex and Napier Complex have been examined in terms of U, Th, Pb and rare earth element (REE) chemistry using an electron microprobe. The studied samples include four granulite-facies garnet-biotite-bearing metapelites from Skallen within t...
