Abstract
The Olkhon terrane in the Western Baikal area accommodates four types of carbonate-silicate mixtures: injection (protrusion), metamorphic-boudinated, mingling, and tectonite marble mélange. The outcrops of injection mélange consist of a carbonate matrix with inclusions of native silicic rocks found in the immediate vicinities, commonly cover large areas and lack any distinct linearity in the map view. Mélange of the metamorphic boudinage type comprises diopsidite and tremilote-diopsidite fragments in a dolomitic or calcite-dolomitic matrix. Its origin is apparently due to tectonism and related metamorphism of quartz sandstones in Neoproterozoic strata on the passive margin of the Siberian craton. Mingling mélange appears as calcite marble or carbonate-silicate (calciphyre) veins with metadolerite and granite inclusions of different sizes. The veins formed by intrusion of carbonate and silicate melt batches and subsequent fragmentation of silicate rocks that crystallized earlier. Marble tectonites localized in narrow zones record the late phase of ductile marble injection.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is facilitating awareness of the international scientific community of new data on geodynamics of continental lithosphere in a wide range of geolchronological data, as well as tectonophysics as an integral part of geodynamics, in which physico-mathematical and structural-geological concepts are applied to deal with topical problems of the evolution of structures and processes taking place simultaneously in the lithosphere. Complex geological and geophysical studies of the Earth tectonosphere have been significantly enhanced in the current decade across the world. As a result, a large number of publications are developed based on thorough analyses of paleo- and modern geodynamic processes with reference to results of properly substantiated physical experiments, field data and tectonophysical calculations. Comprehensive research of that type, followed by consolidation and generalization of research results and conclusions, conforms to the start-of-the-art of the Earth’s sciences.
