PROVENANCE AND AGE CONSTRAINTS OF THE RIPHEAN SANDSTONES FROM THE IVANOVSKY GRABEN (THE KOLA PENINSULA) BASED ON THE U-Pb LA-ICP-MS DATING AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY OF DETRITAL ZIRCON
Abstract:The results of U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating of 150 detrital zircon grains from the Precambrian (Riphean?) sandstones of the Kildin group on the coast of the Ivanovka Bay (northeastern Kola Peninsula) are presented. A group of three youngest grains yielded constraint on the sandstone maximum depositional age of 1179±45 Ma. Detrital zircon age distribution is dominated by three maximums of 1.9, 2.4 and 2.7 Ga. The authors consider two complementary scenarios of interpretation of the data obtained. The first scenario in… Show more
