Early Palaeozoic ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism in eastern Gondwana was an event that started with Gondwana amalgamation atc. 580 Ma and lasted at least 50 Myr. Sapphirine + quartz, Mg–Al granulites preserve a record of the timing and duration of the event along the metamorphic belt. U–Th–Pb dating of zircon and monazite shows that metamorphism peaked almost simultaneously in Antarctica (554.0 ± 4.7 Ma), Sri Lanka (555.5 ± 4.6 Ma), southern India (548.1 ± 8.1 Ma) and Madagascar (550.6 ± 6.0 Ma), and ended in all locations at the same time, 530–520 Ma. Rare earth element (REE) compositions of the metamorphic zircon zones can be matched to the REE zoning in the associated garnet. Phase-diagram modelling indicates that the peak UHTP–Tconditions in Antarctica, Sri Lanka, and India were very similar, 1020–1040 °C at 0.8 GPa. Peak conditions in Madagascar were at higherTand similarP: 1090 °C and 0.8 GPa. The East African Orogeny before 600 Ma preconditioned the crust of the eastern Gondwanan terranes by thickening it and harbouring heat-producing elements, heating the crust overc. 60 Myr; such that UHT conditions were reached when East and West Gondwana collided.
