Behaviour of zircon in high-grade metamorphic rocks: evidence from Hf isotopes, trace elements and textural studies.

Abstract

Hf isotopic data of minerals in a mafic pyroxene granulite from the southern Bohemian Massif, together with their major and trace element composition and petrological observations were used to decipher the metamorphic history of zircon in the granulite.
