Uranium-lead (U-Pb) accessory mineral petrochronology has been increasingly used to constrain the timing of tectonometamorphic events. However, because mafic rocks commonly lack minerals with a high U/Pb ratio, they may be underrepresented in chronologic record. This study on polymetamorphic granulites from Archean Rae craton (northern Canada) provides striking example metamorphic cycle that entirely overlooked. We utilized Lu-Hf garnet geochronology and equilibrium phase diagram modeling...

Abstract Palaeoproterozoic orogenesis within the Archean southeastern Rae craton is related to initial amalgamation of Laurentia. Characterizing accompanying tectonic processes during this time has been complicated due polymetamorphism, which results in obscuring age record terranes involved. To improve knowledge evolution South Craton, petrologic and structural analyses are applied conjunction with situ trace element chemistry, inclusion barometry, U–Pb monazite titanite, Lu–Hf garnet...
