Fig. 9From: The evolution of the Sesia Zone (Western Alps) from Carboniferous to Cretaceous: insights from zircon and allanite geochronologyZircon in Mn-rich quartzite VC10-04 from Chiusella Valley. a–f Selected CC images of analysed zircon cores. Scale bar in all images is 30 μm. Measured spots are shown (yellow circles) with the associated date (± 1σ Ma). g Concordia plot of zircon core dates and weighted average 206Pb/238U age. h–l Selected CC images of analysed zircon rim1.
