“…The Carboniferous-to Permian-aged zircons probably originated from the syn-and post-collisional granitic rocks of the polar Urals and Taimyr. The recent paper by Soloviev et al (2015) presented detrital zircon age spectra for Middle and Late Triassic strata of Franz Josef Land similar to the Triassic strata from all other locations compared here, documenting ages with a dominant component from the Uralian fold belt, lesser contributions from east Baltica, the Timanides, Taimyr, and ages related to Siberian Trap magmatism. These results indicate that Chukotka, Wrangel Island, the New Siberian Islands and westernmost Alaska (Lisburne Hills), Taimyr, Svalbard, and Franz Josef Land shared a common provenance in the Triassic (Miller et al, 2006(Miller et al, , 2012.…”

The Taimyr fold-and-thrust belt records late Paleozoic compression, presumably related to Uralian orogenesis, overprinted by Mesozoic dextral strike-slip faulting. U-Pb detrital zircon analyses of 38 sandstones from southern Taimyr were conducted using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry to investigate late Paleo zoic to Mesozoic sediment provenance and the tectonic evolution of Taimyr within a regional framework. The Pennsylvanian to Permian sandstones contain detrital zircon populations of 370-260 Ma, which are consistent with derivation from the late Paleo zoic Uralian orogen in northern Taimyr and/or the polar Urals. Late Neoproterozoic through Silurian ages (688-420 Ma), most consistent with derivation from Timanian and Caledonian age sources, suggest an ultimate Baltica source. Southern Taimyr represents the proforeland basin of the bivergent Uralian orogen in the late Paleozoic. Triassic sedimentary rocks contain detrital zircon populations of Carboniferous-Permian (355-260 Ma), late Neoproterozoic to Early Devonian (650-410 Ma), and minor Neo protero zoic (1000-700 Ma) ages, which suggest a similar provenance as the Carboniferous to Permian strata. The addition of a Permian-Triassic (260-220 Ma) zircon population indicates derivation of detritus from Siberian Traprelated magmatism. Jurassic samples have a dominant age peak at 255 Ma and a distinct reduction in Carboniferous-Permian and late Neoproterozoic to Early Devonian input, suggesting that erosion and contributions from Uralian sources ceased while greater input from Siberian Trap-related rocks of Taimyr dominated. Comparison of these results to the published literature demonstrates that detritus from the Uralian orogen was deposited inTaimyr, Novaya Zemlya, and the New Siberian Islands in the Permian, but not in the Lisburne Hills or Wrangel Island. In the Triassic, Taimyr, Chukotka, Wrangel Island, the Kular Dome in the northern Verkhoyansk of Siberia, Lisburne Hills, Franz Josef Land, and Svalbard shared sources from Taimyr, the Siberian Traps, and the polar Urals, indicating that there were no geographic barriers among these locations prior to opening of the Amerasia Basin. Detritus from the Uralian orogen in Taimyr was shed northward into the retroforeland basin and was then transported farther 20-30 m.y. after Uralian orogenesis. The widespread distribution of material eroded from Taimyr and the polar Urals during the Triassic is likely due to the arrival of, and sublithospheric spreading associated with, the Siberian mantle plume head at ca. 250 Ma. The subsequent motion of the lithosphere relative to the plume-swell likely caused a northwestward migration of the uplifted regions. Taimyr and the polar Urals were probably affected. In the Jurassic, detrital zircon spectra from Taimyr, Chukotka, the Kular Dome, and Svalbard show great differences, suggesting that these locations no longer shared the same provenance from Taimyr and the Urals. The restricted distribution of detritus from Taimyr and the Urals indicates that...

“…Previous studies have documented similar detrital zircon ages from the Barents Sea and Svalbard (Omma, 2009;Bue and Andresen, 2013;Suslova, 2013;Fleming et al, 2016;Soloviev et al, 2015;Anfinson et al, 2016). With some variation related to different study aims and areas, the common result for most of these studies is a dominance of Caledonian and Fennoscandian (or Laurentian) detrital zircon signatures in the Lower Triassic, followed by the characteristic Triassic detrital zircon signatures of the Middle to Upper Triassic strata, whereas the Jurassic interval consists of mixed detrital zircon signatures interpreted to reflect a reworking of underlying strata and rejuvenation of southern and western provenance areas (Bue and Andresen, 2013).…”

“…These minimum ages probably reflect deposition shortly after the grains were formed, because they match the maximum depositional ages of the formations closely. Similarly, the minimum detrital zircon age of 218 Ma recorded by Soloviev et al (2015) from the Norian succession offshore the Franz Josef Land Archipelago in the Severnaya well (undifferentiated Snadd and Fruholmen Formation equivalents) probably indicates that the zircon formed relatively shortly before deposition.…”

“…Detrital zircon age spectra have been used to determine the relative importance of the different provenance areas for the NBSB succession in the underlying and overlying stratigraphic intervals (Omma, 2009;Bue and Andresen, 2013;Fleming et al, 2016;Soloviev et al, 2015), and for the Jurassic interval in the Russian Barents Sea Basin (Suslova, 2013), but no studies have focused especially on the Triassic-Jurassic transition or the effect of the Novaya Zemlya fold-and-thrust belt.…”

We used detrital zircon fractions from the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic sedimentary succession in the Norwegian Barents Sea to constrain the role of eastern provenance areas in the basin infill history of the Northern Pangea Boreal basin. Geochronological data from sedimentary rocks in this succession reveal detrital zircon ages that are very close to the biostratigraphically defined maximum depositional age of the two lowermost intervals: The Norian to Rhaetian Fruholmen Formation show U-Pb minimum ages of 208.3 ± 4.2 Ma (discordant by-0.58) and 213.8 ± 5 Ma (discordant by 0.8), and the Rhaetian to Sinemurian Tubåen Formation is 200.6 ± 4.9 Ma (discordant by-3.99) at its minimum. These are the youngest ages thus far documented in the Norwegian Barents Sea, and they demonstrate that a provenance area was magmatically active while, or shortly before, these formations were being deposited. Such protolith ages have not been documented close to the study area, but based on the regional tectonic setting and paleogeography, we argue that the Novaya Zemlya protrusion of the northern Uralian orogen was the most likely provenance area in the region. The Sinemurian to Pliensbachian Nordmela Formation samples yielded, with an exception of a single detrital zircon age of 211 ± 4.3 Ma, a consistent 240-237 Ma minimum detrital zircon age, which suggests that either the magmatic activity or the sediment supply had come to an end by Sinemurian times. This turnover can be explained by a change in the hinterland drainage pattern. This study documents that eastern provenance areas were actively supplying sediments into the Norwegian Barents Sea Basin later than previously assumed, and our data offer age constraints for tectonic activity in the basin and its hinterland inferred from the changes in sediment supply to the basin.

“…Indeed, an easterly (Uralian and Timanian) provenance has been suggested earlier for Paleozoic detrital zircons in Late Triassic strata on Svalbard and in the Sverdrup Basin (Pózer Bue and Andresen, 2014; Anfinson et al, in press). In this context it should be noted that (i) Mesozoic sediments exposed east of Svalbard (Franz Josef Land) display different detrital age patterns than those exposed on Svalbard, and do NOT contain the Grenvillian ages characteristic for the "westerly" provenance of most of the Svalbardian Mesozoic sediments (Soloviev et al, 2015); and (ii) that Mesozoic sediments of the Barents Sea underwent extensive erosion during the Paleocene, as evidenced, amongst others, by Triassic, Jurassic and Early Cretaceous sediments subcropping over wide areas of the northeastern Barents Shelf beneath the actual seafloor (e.g., Asch, 2005).…”

Origin of Bentonites and Detrital Zircons of the Paleocene Basilika Formation, Svalbard

The Paleocene was a time of transition for the Arctic, with magmatic activity of the High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP) giving way to magmatism of the North Atlantic Large Igneous Province in connection to plate tectonic changes in the Arctic and North Atlantic. In this study we investigate the Paleocene magmatic record and sediment pathways of the Basilika Formation exposed in the Central Tertiary Basin of Svalbard. By means of geochemistry, Sm-Nd isotopic signatures, and zircon U-Pb geochronology we investigate the characteristics of several bentonite layers contained in the Basilika Formation, as well as the provenance of the intercalated clastic sediments. Our data show that the volcanic ash layers of the Basilika Formation, which were diagenetically altered to bentonites, originate from alkaline continental-rift magmatism such as the last, explosive stages of the HALIP in North Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. The volcanic ash layers were deposited on Svalbard in a flat shelf environment with dominant sediment supply from the east. Dating of detrital zircons suggests that the detritus was derived from Siberian sources, primarily from the Verkhoyansk Fold-and-Thrust Belt, which would require transport over ∼3000 km across the Arctic.
