PETERSBURG 199106, RUSSIA ABSTRACT Plate-tectonic models for the Paleozoic evolution of the Arctic are numerous and diverse. Our detrital zircon provenance study of Upper Paleozoic sandstones from Kotel’ny Island (New Siberian Island archipelago) provides new data on the provenance of clastic sediments and crustal affinity of the New Siberian Islands. Upper Devonian–Lower Carboniferous deposits yield detrital zircon populations that are consistent with the age of magmatic and metamorphic rocks within the Grenvillian-Sveconorwegian, Timanian, and Caledonian orogenic belts, but not with the Siberian craton. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test reveals a strong similarity between detrital zircon populations within Devonian–Permian clastics of the New Siberian Islands, Wrangel Island (and possibly Chukotka), and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago. These results suggest that the New Siberian Islands, along with Wrangel Island and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago, were located along the northern margin of Laurentia-Baltica in the Late Devonian–Mississippian and possibly made up a single tectonic block. Detrital zircon populations from the Permian clastics record a dramatic shift to a Uralian provenance. The data and results presented here provide vital information to aid Paleozoic tectonic reconstructions of the Arctic region prior to opening of the Mesozoic oceanic basins.

  • Ages from Determinations of Errorchron Isotopic Age The
    Isotopic age determinations in South Norway: 11. The problem of errorchron ages from Telemark rhyolites. R.H. VERSCHURE, C. MAIJER & P.A.M. ANDRIESSEN Verschure , R.H., Maijer, C. & Andriessen , P.A.M. 1990: Isotopic age determ inations in South Norway: 11. The problem of errorchron ages from Telemark rhyolites . Nor. geol. unders. Bull. 418, 47-60. Two sets of Telemark Supracrustal acid metavolcan ics of the Rjukan Group were investigated by the Rb-Sr whole-rock method. Eleven samples within a sampling range of about 10 m were taken at Kvarnsstel at a distance of about 30 km from the Sveconorwegian reset Telemark Gneisses . This set defines a Sveconorwegian erro rchro n of 0.98 ± 0.05 Ga with an extremely high initial " Sr/" Sr ratio of 0.8049 ± 0.0162 (MSWD = 9.3). The second set was taken from a 1 m thick layer along Vravatn. 1.5 km from the Telemark Gneisses with a sample spacing of about 10 cm. This set defines a pre-Sveconorwegian (Gothian) errorchron of 1.29 ± 0.06 Ga with an initial " Sr/" Sr ratio of 0.7064 ± 0.0036 (MSWD = 13.3). A plot of the Kvamsste l samples in a Hughes igneous spec­ trum diagra m suggests K, and therefo re probably also Rb metasomatism. The high initial " Sr/" Sr ratio might thus provide evidence of Sveconorwegian resetting of volcanics that were metasomat i­ zed in pre-Sveconorwegian, Gothian times. It is not impro bable that the apparent 1.29 ± 0.06 Ga age of the v ravatn samples is a reasonable age appro ximation for the Rjukan Group acid volcanism .

ASHA GROUP AND EARLY DEVONIAN TAKATY FORMATION, THE SOUTH- WESTERN URALS: A TEST OF AN AUSTRALIA-BALTICA CONNECTION WITHIN RODINIA Article Type: SI:Precambrian Supercontinents Keywords: Urals, Detrital Zircon, Rodinia, Ediacaran, Baltica Corresponding Author: Prof. Nikolay Borisovich Kuznetsov, Ph.D. Corresponding Author's Institution: Geological Institute of Russian Academy of Science First Author: Nikolay B Kuznetsov, Ph.D. Order of Authors: Nikolay B Kuznetsov, Ph.D.; Josef G Meert, Ph.D.; Tatiana V Romanyuk, Ph.D. Abstract: Results from U/Pb-dating of detrital zircons (dZr) from sandstones of the Basu and Kukkarauk Fms. (Asha Group) of Ediacaran-Middle Cambrian(?) age along with the results obtained from the Early Devonian Takaty Fm. are presented. The age of the Asha Group is traditionally labeled as Upper Vendian in the Russian stratigraphic chart that overlaps with the Ediacaran in the International stratigraphic chart. The dZr whose ages fall within the age-interval of (500-750 Ma) are common in the Basu and Kukkarauk Fm. These ages are typical for crystalline complexes in the Pre- Uralides-Timanides orogen. The identification of zircons with this age range agrees with commonly adopted interpretations for the depositional origin of the Asha Group as a molasse resulting from the erosion of that orogenic belt. Based on the estimates of the youngest ages of dZr along with the tentative identification of inarticulate brachiopods in the Kukkarauk Fm., it appears that the upper part of the Asha Group may extend into the Middle Cambrian.
