The paper provides new U–Pb, Sm–Nd, and Nd–Sr isotope-geochronological data on rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Kandalaksha-Kolvitsa gabbro-anorthosite complex. Rare earth element (REE) contents in zircons from basic rock varieties of the Kandalaksha-Kolvitsa area were analyzed in situ using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Plots of REE distribution were constructed, confirming the magmatic origin of zircon. Temperatures of zircon crystallization were estimated using a Ti-in-zircon geochronometer. The U–Pb method with a 205Pb artificial tracer was first applied to date single zircon grains (2448 ± 5 Ma) from metagabbro of the Kolvitsa massif. The U–Pb analysis of zircon from anorthosites of the Kandalaksha massif dated the early stage of the granulite metamorphism at 2230 ± 10 Ma. The Sm–Nd isotope age was estimated on metamorphic minerals (apatite, garnet, sulfides) and whole rock at 1985 ± 17 Ma (granulite metamorphism) for the Kolvitsa massif and at 1887 ± 37 Ma (high-temperature metasomatic transformations) and 1692 ± 71 Ma (regional fluid reworking) for the Kandalaksha massif. The Sm–Nd model age of metagabbro was 3.3 Ga with a negative value of εNd = 4.6, which corresponds with either processes of crustal contamination or primary enriched mantle reservoir of primary magmas.

Tephra Fallout

The Carnian Stuttgart-Formation (Schilfsandstein) of the Central European Basin contains relics of Triassic volcanic detritus in form of euhedral zircon grains and authigenic analcime. Multiple LA-ICP-MS spot analyses of single zircon crystals from an outcrop near Heilbronn (SW Germany) yielded weighted average 206Pb/238U ages between 250 and 230 Ma, providing evidence for tephra fallout in the southern part of the Central European Basin related to Olenekian, Anisian–Ladinian and Carnian volcanic activity. The tephra was probably transported by monsoonal circulations from volcanic centres of the NW Tethys to the Central European Basin. The four youngest zircon crystals gave a weighted average 206Pb/238U age of 231.1 ± 1.6 Ma (10 analyses), which is interpreted to date syn-depositional tephra fallout into the fluvial Lower Schilfsandstein Member of the Stuttgart Formation. This new maximum depositional age provides the first evidence that deposition of the Stuttgart Formation, which represents the type-example of the mid-Carnian episode, a global episode of enhanced flux of siliciclastic detritus and related environmental perturbations, occurred during the Tuvalian 2 substage at ca. 231 Ma, about 3 million years later than suggested by previous correlations. Zircon grains with weighted average 206Pb/238U ages of 236.0 ± 1.2 Ma (n = 17) and 238.6 ± 1.5 Ma (n = 6) and 206Pb/238U ages between 241 ± 6 and 250 ± 3 Ma point to the presence of tephra in early Carnian to Olenekian strata of the Keuper to Buntsandstein Groups. Traces of these reworked tephra were incorporated into the Stuttgart Formation due to fluvial erosion in the southern Central European Basin and at its margins.

Introducción: El borrego cimarrón (BC) y venado bura (VB) son las especies cinegéticas más importantes en el noroeste de México, sus poblaciones pueden ser afectadas por deficiencias de micro-minerales. Objetivo: Determinar la concentración de los micro-minerales Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Mn, Co y Cr en hígado como indicadoras de deficiencias/excesos en BC y VB. Materiales y métodos: El estudio se realizó en la UMA “Rancho Noche Buena”, Hermosillo, Sonora, México. A tres BC y cinco VB se les tomaron muestras de hígado. Los micro-minerales se determinaron en espectrómetro de masas con plasma acoplado inductivamente cuadrupolo (ICP-MS) y los análisis se validaron utilizando una muestra de referencia. Resultados: En BC los contenidos promedio de Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Mn, y Cr fueron de 114.8, 60.9, 63.8, 1.1, 2.6, y 0.15 mgkg-1, y en VB de 183.9, 28.9, 44.6, 1.2, 2.6, y 0.17 mgkg-1, respectivamente, los cuales son adecuados para animales sanos. Sin embargo, una muestra de BC y dos de VB presentaron deficiencias de Cu, y 60% de los VB de Zn. Asimismo, los contenidos de Co en BC y VB fueron 14.6 y 12.3% inferiores al nivel adecuado. Conclusiones: En BC (n=3) los contenidos de Fe, Zn, Se y Mn fueron adecuados y el Cu fue parcialmente adecuado, en una muestra fue deficiente. En VB, los contenidos de Fe, Se y Mn fueron adecuados. Los contenidos de Cu y Zn fueron parcialmente adecuados en el 40 y 60% de los VB, donde estuvieron en nivel de deficiencia. El Co fue deficiente en ambas especies. Palabras clave: Diagnóstico; microelementos; deficiencias, borrego cimarrón, venado bura.
