The article presents detrital zircon U-Th-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data for metasedimentary rocks from the eastern Tukuringra Terrane, as well as whole-rock Sm-Nd isotope data. Our analyses show that the zircons in metasedimentary rocks are mostly early Mesozoic in age. Early Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic zircons are also common, whereas early Precambrian zircons are virtually absent. The age of the youngest zircon population places a lower age limit on the age of the Tungalin Formation at 204 Ma (Late Triassic, Rhaetian), the Dugda Formation at 181 Ma (Early Jurassic, Toarcian), and the Tangomen Formation at 189 Ma (Early Jurassic, Pliensbachian). Essentially all Mesozoic, Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic zircons are characterized by Neo- and Mesoproterozoic Hf-model ages (tHf(DM) = 1.41–0.46 Ga, tHf(C) = 1.55–0.49) and Mesoproterozoic Nd-model ages (tNd(DM) = 1.25–1.10 Ga, tNd(С) = 1.31–1.14). Our results suggest that sediments for deposition were sourced mainly from the continental Amuria Superterrane, but not from the southern margin of the North Asian Craton.

AbstractThe Mansehra granite in the NW Himalaya is a typical Lesser Himalayan granite. We present here new whole-rock geochemistry, Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd isotope data, together with zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data, for the Mansehra granite. Geochemical data for the granite show typical S-type characteristics. Zircon U–Pb dating yields 206Pb/238U crystallization ages of 483–476 Ma. The zircon grains contain abundant inherited cores and some of these show a clear detrital origin. The 206Pb/238U ages of the inherited cores in the granite cluster in the ranges 889–664, 1862–1595 and 2029 Ma. An age of 664 Ma is considered to be the maximum age of the sedimentary protoliths. Thus the Late Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sedimentary rocks must be the protolith of the Mansehra granitic magma. The initial Sr isotope ratios are high, ranging from 0.7324 to 0.7444, whereas the εNd(t) values range from −9.2 to −8.6, which strongly suggests a large contribution of old crustal material to the protoliths. The two-stage Nd model ages and zircon Hf model ages are Paleoproterozoic, indicating that the protolith sediments were derived from Paleoproterozoic crustal components.

AbstractThe Makkovik Province of eastern Labrador represents part of an accretionary orogen active during an early stage in the development of the Palaeoproterozoic southern Laurentian continental margin. New Nd isotope data for the eastern Makkovik Province suggest that accreted juvenile Makkovik crust was generated in the Cape Harrison domain during a single crust-forming event at c. 2.0 Ga. Pb isotope data support this model, and show a strong similarity to radiogenic crustal signatures in the juvenile Palaeoproterozoic crust of the Ketilidian mobile belt of southern Greenland. As previously proposed, an arc accretion event at c. 1.9 Ga triggered subduction-zone reversal and the development of an ensialic arc on the composite margin. After the subduction flip, a temporary release of compressive stress at c. 1.87 Ga led to the development of a retro-arc foreland basin on the downloaded Archean continental edge, forming the Aillik Group. Unlike previous models, a second arc is not envisaged. Instead, a compressive regime at c. 1.82 Ga is attributed to continued ensialic arc plutonism on the existing margin. The tectonic model for the Makkovikian orogeny proposed here is similar to that for the Ketilidian orogeny. Major- and trace-element analyses suggest that much of the magmatism in the Makkovik orogen results from post-accretionary ensialic arc activity, and that few vestiges remain of the original accreted volcanic arc. This pattern of arc accretion and intense post-accretion reworking is common to many accretionary orogens, such as the South American Andes and North American Cordillera.

Banded iron formations (BIFs) record a time of extensive Fe deposition in the Precambrian oceans, but the sources and pathways for metals in BIFs remain controversial. Here, we present Fe- and Nd-isotope data that indicate two sources of Fe for the large BIF units deposited 2.5 billion y ago. High-εNd and -δ56Fe signatures in some BIF samples record a hydrothermal component, but correlated decreases in εNd- and δ56Fe values reflect contributions from a continental component. The continental Fe source is best explained by Fe mobilization on the continental margin by microbial dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) and confirms for the first time, to our knowledge, a microbially driven Fe shuttle for the largest BIFs on Earth. Detailed sampling at various scales shows that the proportions of hydrothermal and continental Fe sources were invariant over periods of 100–103 y, indicating that there was no seasonal control, although Fe sources varied on longer timescales of 105–106 y, suggesting a control by marine basin circulation. These results show that Fe sources and pathways for BIFs reflect the interplay between abiologic (hydrothermal) and biologic processes, where the latter reflects DIR that operated on a basin-wide scale in the Archean.

Intraplate Magmatism

The formation of continental crust in the Mongolia-Transbaikalia region is researched to identify the mechanisms of interactions between the crust and the mantle in the development of the Neoarchean, Proterozoic and Paleozoic magmatic and sedimentary complexes in the study area. Using the results of his own studies conducted for many years and other published data on this vast region of Central Asia, the author have analysed compositions, ages and conditions for the formation of Karelian, Baikalian, Caledonian and Hercynian structure-formational complexes in a variety of geodynamic settings. Based on the geostructural, petrological, geochemical, geochronological and Sm-Nd isotope data, he determines the crustal and mantle sources of magmatism, conducts the identification and mapping of isotopic provinces, and reveals the role of island-arc oceanic, accretion-collision and intraplate magmatism in the formation of continental crust. Considering the formation of the bulk continental crust, three main stages are distinguished: (1) Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic (Karelian) (almost 30% of the crust volume), (2) Meso-Neoproterozoic (Baikalian) (50%), and (3) Paleozoic (Caledonian and Hercynian) (over 20%). This sequence of the evolution stages shows the predominance of the ancient crustal material in igneous rocks sources at the early stage. During the subsequent stages, tectonic structures created earlier were repeatedly reworked, and mixed crustal-mantle and juvenile sources were widely involved in the formation of the bulk continental crust in the study area.
