U–Pb and Hf isotopic data from metasedimentary and magmatic rocks from the Windmill Islands in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, confirm age and crustal evolution links between the Albany–Fraser Orogen and this part of East Antarctica. Detrital zircon age data indicate that the protoliths to the metased...
