Zircon in metasediments from Malone Valley. Blueschist AV16-44: a–d CC images of the analysed zircon grains. Scale bar in all images is 30 μm. Measured spots are shown (yellow circles) with the associated date (± 1σ Ma). e Concordia plot of zircon rim dates and weighted average 206Pb/238U age. The green circle represents the calculated Concordia age. Micaschist AV16-45: f–i Selected CC images of analysed zircon grains. Scale bar in all images is 30 μm. Measured spots are shown (yellow circles) with the associated date (± 1σ Ma). j REE patterns of zircon rims. k Concordia plot of zircon rim dates and weighted average 206Pb/238U age. The green circle represents the calculated Concordia age. Lws-micaschist AV16-51: l–o Selected CC images of analysed zircon grains. Scale bar in all images is 30 μm. Measured spots are shown (yellow circles) with the associated date (± 1σ, Ma). p REE patterns of zircon rims. q Concordia plot of zircon rim dates and weighted average 206Pb/238U age. The green circle represents the calculated Concordia age
