Abstract
We report the ages of detrital zircons (207Pb/206Pb LA-ICPMS; ) from 12 clastic units that are representative of the Mesoproterozoic Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) of North America. Magmatism of the MRS spanned 1115–1085 Ma. The Puckwunge, Nopeming, and Bessemer basal sandstones and the Oronto and Bayfield Group sandstones received a predominance of Keweenaw Rift–Grenville (1.3–1.0 Ga) zircons but also contributions of Wolf River (1.45 Ga),...
