Abstract
The paper presents data on the geological structure of the Kichera zone of the Baikal–Vitim belt (BVB) at the boundary between the marginal part of the Siberian craton and the Barguzin–Vitim superterrane of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Early Neoproterozoic (Early Baikalian) and Late Neoproterozoic (Late Baikalian) structures and complexes are identified and characterized in the Kichera zone of the BVB. Data are presented on the geochemistry of the rocks and on their U–Pb isotope age (zircon, SIMS and ID-TIMS) and on the Nd isotope characteristics of rocks from various parts of the Kichera zone, including representative rock association of the Nyurundukan migmatite–tonalite–metabasite complex with MORB-type tholeiites and tholeiites with intraplate geochemical features. It is shown that the sources of the Early Neoproterozoic complexes of the Kichera zone, which were metamorphosed at 0.76–0.74 Ga as a result of accretion events in the marginal part of the craton, were dominated by Early Precambrian recycled crustal material. The Late Neoproterozoic complexes typomorphic of the Kichera zone were formed in the Cryogenian–Ediacaran (720–545 Ma) from prevailing juvenile sources. Our data suggest that the metabasites of the Nyurundukan complex were formed in an environment of segmented troughs of the pull-apart paleorift system of the Kichera zone and can be compared with a reduced complex of continental-margin ophiolites transformed at 630 ± 7 to 615 ± 3 Ma. The destruction of the ancient continental crust of the craton ended with the formation and exhumation of deep rocks in the Late Ediacaran, the emplacement of adakite granites of the postcollisional geochemical type, and the formation of grabens filled with a terrigenous complex. The juvenile and riftogenic crust produced during the Late Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Kichera rift zone does not show any features of mature continental-type crust.
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.
