Abstract: | This work presents new U-Pb data (SHRIMP-II) for zircons from products of granitization and leucosomes of migmatites from
amphibolite- and granulite-facies zones developed on rocks of the tonalite-trondhjemite group of the unstratified basement
and supracrustal formations of the western part of the Aldan granulite area. The age data obtained were interpreted using
the data available on the U and Th geochemistry. The main geochemical trend of transition from primary zircons, crystallizing
from the melt to the later metamorphic zircons is manifested in increasing U and Th concentrations in zircons. In this case,
the Th/U ratio decreases, as do the values of the Ce anomaly and LuN/LaN ratio. By studying the sequence of autochthonous
and paraautochthonous granite formation in the amphibolite-facies zone the ancient (3222–3226 Ma) metamorphic event in the
Aldan Shield (a manifestation of the ultrametamorphic processes (granitization and migmatization), superimposed on rocks of
an ancient infracomplex (3.3–3.4 Ga) and gneisses and schists of supracrustal formations) was established. The data obtained
indicate the Middle Archean age of both metamorphosed rock complexes. The ancient period of evolutionary development of the
Aldan shield was followed by development of diatectic granitoids with an age of 2450 Ma, which is correlated well with Proterozoic
granitoids from the conjunction zone between the Aldan granulite area and Olekma granite-greenstone terrain. |
