A stable isotope investigation into fluid-rock interaction during regional metamorphism in western dronning maud land, East Antarctica

Includes bibliographical references. The Sverdrupfjella Group in western Dronning Maud Land forms part of a 1200 Ma to 900 Ma orogenic belt which experienced a thermal overprint at around 500 Ma. Although the degree of tectonic reworking during this later event remains uncertain, evidence for late f...

Although the degree of tectonic reworking during this later event remains uncertain, evidence for late fluid alteration is widespread. In this study, the high-grade metamorphic rocks which make up the Sverdrupfjella Group were sampled in the central Kirwanveggen area. The stable isotope and whole-rock composition of these rocks have been determined, in order to test whether zones of intense fluid-rock interaction can be used as evidence for Pan African overprinting of Grenvillian orogenesis in western Dronning Maud Land.
