Recognition of inherited zircons of 3200 m.y. age in a mid-Devonian             pluton in eastern Maine suggest that Archean basement may be present in         parts of the northern Appalachians.  This research will examine a number        of plutons along a transect from southeastern to central Maine to               establish whether small amounts of inherited zircons are present in             plutons of different compositions with different emplacement histories.         These plutons are present in areas previously interpreted as belonging          to different source terranes.  The present research would establish             whether characterization of inherited zircons is a feasible techique for        terrane recognition.
