Fig. 3 — a Zircon (Zrn) and monazite (Mnz) U–Pb Tera-Wasserburg concordia plot of shock-recrystallised zircon and monazite neoblasts from the Barlangi granophyre and the Yarrabubba monzogranite. Monazite analyses from the Yarrabubba monzogranite are coloured yellow, monazite analyses from the Barlangi granophyre are coloured green, neoblastic zircon analyses from the granophyre are blue and analyses from zircon rims with baddeleyite (Bdy) intergrowths are maroon. While all zircon neoblastic domains show variable Pb-loss, the analyses form a linear discordia to ca. 2240 Ma, interpreted as the impact age. b All monazite neoblasts record a weighted mean ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age of 2229 ± 5 Ma (horizontal red bar). c Weighted mean ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age plot of the neoblastic domains from monazite grains of the shock-deformed Yarrabubba monzogranite (yellow), monazite from the Barlangi granophyre (green) and zircon from the granophyre (blue). Note overlap of weighted mean age from each monazite population, supporting the interpretation of 2229 ± 5 Ma as the impact age. All error ellipses and bars are reported at the 2σ level.
