Tracking the exhumation of a Pliocene (U)HP terrane: U‐Pb and trace‐element constraints from zircon, D'Entrecasteaux Islands, Papua New Guinea

Abstract Domal structures within the D'Entrecasteaux Islands of eastern Papua New Guinea expose ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) Pliocene (5.6–4.6 Ma) eclogites and evidence for partial melting. To better interpret the (U)HP exhumation history, U‐Pb geochronology and trace‐element abundances were deter...
