Abstract
This paper reports a study of the crystallization age of the deformed Juzbado Granite through LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronology. Seven zircon grains were dated providing ages ranging from 340 to 2500 Ma. The U-Pb age data supply a maximum crystallization age of 340 Ma and insights into the nature of potential source rocks. The ages of the inherited zircon grains or xenocrysts are in agreement with the zircon contents found in the potential source rocks. Given that the intrusion is deformed by the fabric related to the Juzbado-Penalva do Castelo shear zone, its minimum age must be ca. 308 Ma. Based on the petrological similarities with other granite bodies in the surrounding area (Tormes anatectic dome) its age is likely to be around 320 Ma.
