Untying the Kibaran knot: a reassessment of Mesoproterozoic correlations in southern Africa based on SHRIMP U-Pb data from the Irumide belt
The Irumide belt is part of a network of late Mesoproterozoic Kibaran-age orogens in south-central Africa. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb zircon ages for gneisses, migmatites, and granitoids indicate that peak Irumide metamorphism was ca. 1020 Ma and that this was associated...
