U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology of the Dalradian Supergroup, Shetland Islands, Scotland: Implications for regional correlations and Neoproterozoic-Palaeozoic basin development

U-Pb detrital zircon data show that the East Mainland Succession, the presumed correlative of the Dalradian Supergroup in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, is dominated by Mesoproterozoic and Archaean material, with some Palaeoproterozoic detritus. The data are most consistent with derivation from eas...
