The Letovice Complex, composed of metamorphosed enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts with trondhjemitic sheets, as well as gabbroic and ultrabasic bodies, is exposed within an important Variscan suture separating the Moldanubian Domain (to the west) from the Brunovistulicum (to the east) in the eastern part of the Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic. A polyphase tectonic evolution of the study area was connected with underthrusting and subsequent exhumation of the former oceanic realm, which resulted in three deformation phases (D1–D3). New U–Pb laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry dating of magmatic zircons from amphibolite and trondhjemite yielded statistically identical concordia ages.
