The effects of overprinting on isotopic ages and rock fabrics : the Lewisian Gneiss Complex as a case study
Zircon is a key mineral in understanding tectonothermal overprinting in metagranitoid rocks of the continental crust, principally through radiometric dating. Exposed examples of such rocks are often Precambrian in age and have undergone multiple tectonothermal events. This thesis aims to understand...
