Nevertheless, new ion-microprobe and LA-ICPMS U-Pb zircon dating revealed that the crystallization age was 483 ± 3 Ma. The orthogneiss also contains a 605 ± 13 Ma zircon population that indicates that the source-rock for the Ordovician magma was Pan-African. Moreover, a few ~3.17 Ga zircon grains were also recorded. These grains are the oldest found so far in Iberia, and its occurrence would suggest the involvement of an Archean crust in the Pan-African orogeny.}, organization = {This work was financially supported supported by the Spanish DGCYT grant BTE2002-04618-C02-01, the SYNTHESIS grant SE-TAF 528 and the NATO Collaborative Project EST-CLG-978997.}, publisher = {Universidad de Barcelona; Instituto de Ciencias de la Tierra Jaume Almera}, keywords = {U-Pb dating}, keywords = {Ollo de Sapo}, keywords = {Pre-Variscan}, keywords = {Central Iberian Zone}, keywords = {Gneiss}, title = {A revised Ordovician age for the Miranda do Douro orthogneiss, Portugal.
