Abstract

Paper presents results of isotope studies of primary igneous and sedimentary rocks of Mawson and Menzies series from the southern Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica. Obtained data show that igneous protholith crystallization of Mawson orthogneiss occurred at 3164,2±9,2-3163,2±7,8 Ma ago. The Mawson orthogneiss were a basement for Menzies series sediment. The maximum time of sediment deposition is estimated to be in the range of 3,0-3,1 Ga. Sediment protholith involves an admixture of Paleoarchean material.
