sample_remark Elburg et al. (2013): Representative of sodic leucogranites that appear to pierce the Neoproterozoic succession in breccia zones. The sample consists of quartz and albite, with a small number of relatively large zircons, which are dull pale brown and cloudy. CL images show a mottled internal structure, and only rare rims show the oscillatory zoning typically associated with igneous zircons. There is no evidence for any inherited cores in the zircons from either their shape or CL images. We interpret the irregular internal structure seen in CL to reflect post-magmatic metamictisation.
