Abstract
Understanding the tectonic evolution of the Yenisei Range offers important clues not only for the tectonic evolution of orogenic belts at margins of ancient cratons but also for solving the problem of the incorporation of the Siberian craton into the Rodinia supercontinent. Results of mineralogical−petrological, geochemical, and isotope–geochemical studies provide an insight into the petrogenesis, geotectonic settings, thermodynamic parameters of formation, and the ages of the metamorphism and protoliths for the contrastingly compositionally different rocks of the Garevka metamorphic complex. The paper discusses the possible models for the origin of the rock complexes and the geodynamic settings in which they were formed. The western margin of the Siberian craton was determined to have been affected by two pulses of Neoproterozoic endogenic activity, which were related to the origin of the Rodinia supercontinent (930–900 and 880–845 Ma), and which correlated with Grenville and post-Grenville processes responsible for Valhalla folding. The regional geodynamic history is correlated with the coeval sequence and similar style of tectono−thermal events in the peripheries of the large Precambrian cratons Laurentia and Baltica, which is consistent with the proposed Neoproterozoic paleogeographic reconstructions of close spatiotemporal relationships between these cratons and their incorporation into Rodinia configuration.
期刊介绍:
Petrology is a journal of magmatic, metamorphic, and experimental petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. The journal offers comprehensive information on all multidisciplinary aspects of theoretical, experimental, and applied petrology. By giving special consideration to studies on the petrography of different regions of the former Soviet Union, Petrology provides readers with a unique opportunity to refine their understanding of the geology of the vast territory of the Eurasian continent. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
