Abstract

At the boundary of the Meso- and Neoproterozoic, Grenville collision events were widely manifested on the margins of ancient continental blocks. Most of the sedimentary sequences that had accumulated by that time had undergone significant thermal–metamorphic changes. In many ways, this is the main reason for the lack of isotopic data for carbonate deposits in the interval of 1200–900 Ma in world practice. Sr–isotopic composition in carbonate rocks with an age of 980–920 Ma was determined in the only section of the World – the Huainan Formation of the North China Platform with accumulation time determined by U–Pb dating of detrital zircon grains. In the upper part of the Nizhny Tunguska suite of the Turukhansk uplift, among carbonate deposits, we established the presence of altered volcanic rocks, as well as weathering crust products along them – poor bauxite and chamosite ores. Based on U–Pb zircon isotope dating, the age of the volcanic rocks is 964 Ma. For the least altered limestones of the upper part of the Nizhny Tungusska Formation, received 87Sr/86Sr values are 0.70532–0.70578, which are close enough to those found in the rocks of the Huainan Formation. Geochronological age of the studied limestones gives us more correct data. These data can be used to refine the previously proposed configuration of the Sr–isotopic composition variation curve in the Early Neoproterozoic. The Nizhny Tunguska Formation is the only carbonate section of the Early Neoproterozoic in the world with correctly geochronologically substantiated dating (based on zircon from subsynchronous volcanic rocks). This compares favorably with the Huainan formation.
