Garnet single-grain analysis is an often used and well established tool in sedimentary
provenance studies, especially when metamorphic source rocks are involved. So far,
however, solely the geochemical composition of detrital garnets is considered to draw
conclusions concerning probable source rocks. The gained information is often limited by (i)
geochemical overlap of garnets derived from different lithology and metamorphic grade,(ii)
similar probabilities of belonging to more than one source rock type, and (iii) the limitations …
