Paleoarchaean Tonalites in the Orekhovo-Pavlogradskaya Palaeoproterozoic Collsional Zone (Ukrainian Shield)

摘要

The novel detailed geological and geochronological data for the tonalitie rocks and products of its structural and metamorphic overprint in the Orekhovo-Pavlogradskaya collision zone (Ukrainian Shield) are discussed. Magmatic crystallization of tonalites (3500 ± 13 Ma) followed by amphibolite (2863 ± 22 Ma) and granulite (2105 ± 40 Ma) facies metamorphic events, resulting in biotite-garnet gneisses formation. The last date also indicating the time of collision event. The earliest age of 3.64 Ga was found in the zonal zircon fragment within 3.5-Ga old magmatic zircon from tonalite.
