THE EVOLUTION OF GRENVILLE BASEMENT IN THE EASTERN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS; CONSTRAINTS FROM U-PB ZIRCON GEOCHRONOLOGY, WHOLE ROCK SM-ND, AND FELDSPAR PB GEOCHEMISTRY

THE EVOLUTION OF GRENVILLE BASEMENT IN THE EASTERN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS; CONSTRAINTS FROM U-PB ZIRCON GEOCHRONOLOGY, WHOLE ROCK SM-ND, AND FELDSPAR PB GEOCHEMISTRY

Identifying the crustal affinity of Grenville basement rocks in the Dellwood quadrangle, western NC, provides insight into the tectonic evolution of eastern Laurentia during Grenville orogenesis. U-Pb zircon geochronology of orthogneiss, augen gneiss, and mafic xenoliths in orthogneiss reveal magmat...
