SHRIMP dating of titanite from metasyenites in the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt, South Africa

SHRIMP dating of titanite from metasyenites in the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt yields a mean ²⁰⁷Pb/ ²⁰⁶Pb age of 2010.3 ±4.5 Ma calculated from 23 analyses. This age, combined with petrographic and field observations, suggests the metamorphism in the syenites occurred during Palaeoproterozoic event.
