Abstract

The article presents a study on the age determination of the rare earth element (REE) distribution in Zircon from a granitoid sample from the Southern Prince Charles Mountains in Eastern Antarctica. It states that the presence of Ruker granite in the area indicates a series of felsic orthogneiss, metasedimentary and volcanic events. The researchers used a titanium geothermometer to estimate the crystallization temperature of zircon in the area. It concludes that the Sodruzhestva Series in the area was formed in the post-Archean time because signs of Archean - Paleoproterozoic tectonothermal processes are absent in the samples.
