Zircons from the garnet-bearing granitic gneiss show a distinct core-rim structure ; the cores yield an early Proterozoic age of 2133±56 Ma, and the rims yield a poorly defined age of ca. 1500 Ma. The core and rim ages agree well with those for protolith formation and high-grade metamorphism, respectively, of the basement gneiss complex in the Gyeonggi Massif. Zircons from the topaz-bearing granite show a middle Jurassic age of 172±4 Ma, suggesting the granite to be assigned to the Jurassic Daebo Granite.}, pages = {61--69}, title = {CHIME ages of zircons in granitic gneiss and granite from Samilpo, southeastern Democratic People's Republic of Korea}, volume = {44}, year = {1997} }
