Dating deposition and low-grade metamorphism by in situ U-Pb geochronology of titanite in the Paleoproterozoic Timeball Hill Formation, southern Africa

Titanite coexists with zircon in a felsic tuff in the Paleoproterozoic Timeball Hill Formation, southern Africa. Two generations of titanite are preserved: euhedral, brown crystals with apatite inclusions, and colorless, matrix-filling cement. The brown titanite has elevated U, Th and Fe, and low Al...
