Occurring in the Early Palaeozoic palaeomargin of the East Antarctica Craton, the Tonalite Belt of North Victoria Land is a narrow linear magmatic belt up to 200 km long, made up of strongly foliated tonalitic and granodioritic intrusions. They were synkinematically emplaced into the Lanterman-Murch...
