New data on the U-Pb (SHRIMP II) age of zircons from aluminous gneisses of the Archean Kola Group of the Baltic shield and the problem of their interpretation

摘要

New data on the U-Pb (SHRIMP II) age are obtained for aluminous gneisses of the Kola Group of the Baltic shield. Gneisses are typically ascribed to metasedimentary rocks with detrital zircons. Our work interprets the isotopic data based on the magmatic (tonalite) origin of gneisses and zircon that was established from study of the morphology and geochemistry of zircons. The age of crystallization of the protolith is 2.9 Ga. The existence of two stages of Archean granulite metamorphism is confirmed: an early stage (2.9 Ga) and later granulite metamorphism (2707-2656 Ma).
