Abstract: | New geochronological (U-Pb, Pb-LS, Sm-Nd) studies were carried out for minerals from metamorphic rocks (aluminous plagiogneisses
with sillimanite (kinzigites) and potassium shadow migmatites) to establish the sequence of metamorphic events in the Irkut
block of the Prisayan marginal uplift of the Siberian platform basement. Obtained data permit the distinguishing of two main
stages of regional metamorphism under the granulite and amphibolite facies conditions: 2480–2560 and 1860–1900 Ma. New age
data in general are consistent with previously published zircon estimates of the Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic ages of the
granulite-facies metamorphism of the Irkut block. This gives grounds to consider the geochronological studies of garnet and
monazite as promising tool for distinguishing age boundaries of metamorphic transformations in the areas of polycyclic evolution. |
