Relationship between detrital zircon age-spectra and the tectonic evolution of the Late Archaean Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa
SHRIMP U–Pb detrital zircon age-spectra for 14 samples from the West Rand and Central Rand Groups of the Witwatersrand Basin indicate that felsic source rocks mostly formed at ~3090–3060 and ~3000–2870 Ma, with a smaller proportion formed prior to 3100 Ma. Provenance evaluation indicates that source...
