Abstract
Quartzites and paragneisses of the Archean granulite series of the Anabar Shield (Siberian Craton, Russia) are described geochemically. The Sm-Nd isotope systematics of the rocks and the U-Pb age (SHRIMP II) and geochemistry of zircons from quartzites and paragneisses are studied. Newly formed zircons from quartzites display geochemical characteristics of the magmatic type and were produced by rock anatexis upon granulite-facies metamorphism. The Paleoproterozoic age of the latest detrital zircons, 2250 ± 24 Ma, constrains the maximum age of sedimentary rock deposition. The anatectic rims around detrital zircons were formed ca. 2000 ± 9 Ma ago. The time of deposition of the sedimentary protolith of gneisses and quartzites falls within the age interval of the above-mentioned dates and is tentatively accepted as 2.1 Ga. The presence of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks in the Daldyn Group implies the tectonic heterogeneity of the series and the existence of Paleoproterozoic rock bodies among the predominant Archean rock sequences.
