... is younger than the earliest foliation in the Tugela Terrane to the north, but is in accordance with previous Ar-Ar dating of shear zones in that terrane. This implies that the early fabrics in the Tugela Terrane were rejuvenated at this time. Magmatic zircons from melanorite of the Equeefa Suite provided...

... with similar ages to the Glenmore granite, include the foliated Mzimlilo Suite which has a zircon evaporation age of ~1090 Ma ( Thomas et al ., 1995 ), and the post-D 1 pre-D 2 Equeefa Metabasites with an age of ~1083 Ma ( Johnston et al ., 2000 ). However, it is not known from what time onwards the two...
