U-Pb zircon ages of samples of anorthosite, pyroxene monzodiorite (jotunite), and pyroxene quartz monzonite (quartz mangerite) of the Morin anorthosite complex, Grenville Province, Quebec, are 1155 {plus minus} 3, 1146 {plus minus} 4 and 1135 {plus minus} 3 Ma, respectively. These dates are very similar to available dates for equivalent units of the Lac St-Jean and Adirondack anorthosite suite occurrences and slightly predate estimates of 1075-1100 Ma for peak metamorphic conditions during the Grenville orogeny in this region. {sup 87}Sr/{sup 86}Sr initial ratios of 0.7048-0.7051 for the three Morin units sampled permit a comagmatic origin if the different emplacement or cooling times can be reconciled. The mangerite sampled cannot have been formed by fusion of the upper crust, but may have been derived from a relatively juvenile crust at depth. All three units have interacted with continental crust, given the likely depleted nature of the mantle in this region.
