Hf isotopic composition of single zircons from Neoproterozoic arc volcanics and post-collision granites, Eastern Desert of Egypt: Implications for crustal growth and recycling in the Arabian-Nubian Shield

Zircon Hf isotopic compositions for Neoproterozoic igneous rocks in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt are presented and interpreted. The Humr Akarim (633 ± 7 and 603 ± 9 Ma)–Humrat Mukbid (625 ± 8 and619 ± 8 Ma) plutons are Early Ediacaran post-collsional subsolvus granites. Their zircon ages rang...
