The Age Distribution of Detrital Zircons in Quartzites from the Toodyay-Lake Grace Domain, Western Australia: Implications for the early Evolution of the Yilgarn Craton

Evidence for the early history of the Archean Yilgarn Craton has been largely obliterated by the craton-wide emplacement of granitic rocks at c. 2650 Ma. However, detrital zircons from rare, c. 3.1 Ga quartz-rich metasediments preserved in the Yilgarn Craton provide an opportunity to investigate the...
