Charnockite plutons were intruded into Meso-Neoproterozoic (similar to 1000 Ma) high-grade metamorphic zone in the northern Prince Charles Mountains (PCM), East Antarctica, immediately after peak granulite metamorphism in the region. Detailed geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic studies were carried out o...
