U-Th-Pb and Hf isotopic data on zircon and apatite of non-granulite rocks from the Saxonian Granuilite Massif

The geology of the Saxon Granulite Massif and particularly its metamorphic history is a matter of on-going (passionate) discussions that resulted in several concurring tectonic models. Meanwhile, less attention has been paid on the pre- and post-metamorphic evolution of this area. Comprehensive compilation of available data and presentation of new geochemical and geochronological results help reconstructing the evolution of this part of the Central European Variscides and point towards partial involvement of non-Gondwanan crustal components during the Carboniferous. Therefore, at least parts of the Saxon Granulite Massif represent exotic fragments in the Saxothuringian Zone. Data given here comprises U-Th-Pb and Hf isotopic analyses of rocks from the Saxonian Granulite Massif
