Paleomagnetism of the devonian basalts and redbeds at the bykovskaya straight (Mouth of lena river, eastern Siberia)

© SGEM2017. All Rights Reserved. We have collected paleomagnetic samples from Late Devonian (Fammennian) basalts and sedimentary redbeds at the Bykovskaya Straight (in the vicinity of Lena River delta). Most studied samples carried interpretable paleomagnetic signal. Three paleomagnetic components have been isolated: A+A’, C, and D. The magnetization of the overwhelmed majority of Late Devonian samples from the Bykovskaya Straight has been reset by modern (or Late Cenozoic) geomagnetic field (component A+A’). The sole site was characterized by the presence of Late Devonian magnetization component it its samples. The virtual pole, calculated from this component, can be used (combined with other virtual poles) to determine the position of the Late Devonian pole for Siberian craton. Studied sedimentary rocks were characterized by the presence of a metachronous syn-folding component. The comparison of the correspondent pole with European reference Apparent Polar Wander Path permits concluding that the folding in the region took place during Middle-Late Jurassic (160-170 Ma)

Detrital zircon record of Meso- and Neoproterozoic sedimentary basins in northern part of the Siberian Craton: Characterizing buried crust of the basement

We present new LA ICP-MS detrital zircon data from Meso- and Neoproterozoic sedimentary basins located in the northern and western parts of the Siberian Craton. Along the western cratonic margin (Turukhansk Uplift, northern Yenisei Ridge), the basins accumulated predominantly 2.6–2.5 Ga and 1.9–1.85 Ga erosional products, while the main sources for the fill of intracratonic basin to the northeast near the Anabar Shield (East Anabar basin) were 2.9–2.7 Ga and 2.1–1.95 Ga old igneous rocks. The studied Meso- to Early Neoproterozoic sandstones were deposited in rift-related or passive margin settings, and underwent major craton-wide recycling to produce late Ediacaran silicilastic successions. Meso- to Early Neoproterozoic sandstones are immature to submature pointing to erosion of proximal Archean and Paleoproterozoic crustal units. The unique detrital age spectra for the northeast and western basins indicate provinciality and provide a basis for unravelling the age of buried domains of the Siberian Craton basement
