Journal Article
Bird, A. F., Thirlwall, M. F., Strachan, R. A., & Manning, C. J. (2013). Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd dating of metamorphic garnet: evidence for multiple accretion events during the Caledonian orogeny in Scotland. Journal of the Geological Society, 170(2), 301-317. https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2012-083

Caledonian orogenesis in Scotland is currently interpreted in terms of a Mid-Ordovician arc- continent collision (Grampian event) followed by the Silurian collision of Laurentia with Baltica (Scandian event). Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd garnet ages of c. 475-460... Read More about Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd dating of metamorphic garnet: evidence for multiple accretion events during the Caledonian orogeny in Scotland.
