Geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic mapping of source provinces for the Mawson charnockites, east Antarctica: implications for Proterozoic tectonics and Gondwana reconstruction

Large charnockite plutons (similar to 970 Ma) were intruded into high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Mawson Coast area, east Antarctica, immediately after peak granulite metamorphism in the region. Detailed Sr-Nd isotopic studies suggest that charnockites in the central zone have significantly highe...
