U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopic signatures of detrital and metamorphic zircon in granulite facies paragneiss from Kemp and MacRobertson lands, east Antarctica, distinguish two extensive Precambrian basins: (1) an Archaean basin deposited between c. 2570 Ma and c. 2500–2430 Ma, which extended across Kemp Lan...
