Laurentian provenance and an intracratonic tectonic setting for the Moine Supergroup, Scotland, constrained by detrital zircons from the Loch Eil and Glen Urquhart successions

Detrital zircons in psammite from the type section of the Loch Eil Group of the Maine Supergroup, NW Scotland, and from an unnamed quartzose psammite, interstratified with marble, at Glen Urquhart yield similar U-Pb detrital zircon ages ranging from c. 2300 to 900 Ma. Both samples show age peaks at...
