Abstract
We report new detrital zircon U–Pb ages of nine quartzites sampled along the Phyllite–Quartzite unit sensu stricto (PQ unit s.s.), in the high-pressure belt of the southern Hellenides. The detrital zircon age spectra are dominated by two significant age peaks at ca. 600 and ca. 1000 Ma, which are typical for an east Gondwana provenance. The absence of zircons of Carboniferous–Triassic ages suggests that the depositional environment was isolated from Variscan and early Mesozoic sources. Our data are in support of paleogeographic configurations placing the protolith of the PQ unit s.s. south of the Paleotethys ocean and along the northern Gondwana margin. The zircon age spectra do not show significant variations with respect to the tectonostratigraphic position within the PQ unit s.s. and the position along the high-pressure belt. Combining the new (this study) with published detrital zircon ages, we suggest that the siliciclastic metasediments of the PQ unit s.s. on Crete, Kythera, and the Peloponnesus have a common paleogeographic origin.
