Abstract In this study we present data on the geologic setting, geochemical and isotopic compositions, timing and P-T conditions of metamorphism of Neoproterozoic terrigenous metasediments, and associated island-arc metavolcanics of the Predivinsk terrane of the Yenisei Ridge. Relatively immature terrigenous rocks were eroded from a local source which is associated with island-arc magmatic complexes. The geochronological constraints indicate that the terrigenous rocks were eroded from juvenile crustal sources represented primarily by magmatic rocks, which are similar to those of the Predivinsk terrane. This is supported by a similar range of model ages, positive εNd values of terrigenous and magmatic rocks, and correspondence between the concordant ages of detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks (610–640 Ma) and the U–Pb ages of zircons from rhyolites (ca. 620–640 Ma) from two suites within different sequences. The P-T conditions for volcanosedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane correspond to the epidote-amphibolite facies and the transition from epidote-amphibolite to amphibolite facies. The most likely age of metamorphism due to Vendian accretion/collision events is given by Ar–Ar dates of 600–610 Ma. © 2016, V.S. Sobolev IGM, Siberian Branch of the RAS. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Introduction The present-day southwestern margin of the Siberian craton is represented by its Early Precambrian basement inliers (Angara–Kan and Sayan) Mesoproterozoic–Neoproterozoic marginal continental region that includes the Yenisei Ridge. the Precambrian terrane (Isakovka, Predivinsk, Arzybei, Shumikha-Kirel, etc.) made up of Neoproterozoic ophiolites and island-arc rocks (Chernykh, 2001; Khain et al., 1993; Kuzmichev, 1987; Mironov and Nozhkin, 1978; Nozhkin, 1997; Rumyantsev et al., 2000; Turkina et al., 2004; Vernikovsky et al., 1994) were accreted to the Siberian craton in the Vendian (Likhanov et al., 2013b; Nozhkin et al., 2007; Turkina et al., 2007). The Predivinsk terrane located in the southwestern part of the Yenisei Ridge is one of the structural elements of the

Sayan–Yenisei accretionary-collision belt (Fig. 1) that formed during the earliest evolutionary history of the Central Asian orogenic belt. The geology and composition of igneous rocks of the Predivinsk volcanic zone have been described in detail in previous publications (Chernykh, 2001; Nozhkin, 1985a,b, 1996, 1997; Vernikovsky et al., 1999; Zablotskii et al., 1986); however, terrigenous sediments found in association with island-arc volcanics have not yet been studied intensively. The analysis of major and trace elements in these sediments, unraveling the contribution of the juvenile and Early Precambrian cratonic crust, and deciphering protolith ages may be of great importance in this respect. The goal of this study is to describe the major and trace element geochemistry, and the isotopic composition of Neoproterozoic terrigenous rocks of the Predivinsk terrane, and to use these data to constrain the age of volcanosedimentary units, conditions and timing of metamorphism.

Geologic setting and composition of volcanosedimentary complexes The Predivinsk terrane, some 40–45 km long and 7–8 km wide, extends in a NW direction along the right bank of the Yenisei River. This feature is traced by gravity and magnetic trends to the north along the left bank of the Yenisei River under the cover of Meso-Cenozoic sediments. The terrane is thrust over the Paleoproterozoic Yenisei amphibolite-facies gneisses of the Angara–Kan block of the Siberian craton to the east, and is bordered to the west by Phanerozoic sediments of the West Siberian plate along a tectonic suture (Fig. 1) (Chernykh, 2001; Nozhkin, 1997; Vernikovsky et al., 2009; Zablotskii et al., 1986). In general, the Predivinsk terrane adjoins the Yenisei fault zone, which is considered as an extension of the Main Sayan Fault, a major tectonic structure

bordering the Siberian craton to the west and southwest (Likhanov et al., 2013a, 2014; Vernikovsky et al., 2009). The terrane appears as a complex assemblage of tectonic sheets, which can be attributed to two large tectonic blocks (Western and Eastern) composed of different rock series. The island-arc complexes of the Western block consist of epidoteamphibolite facies metamorphic rocks represented mostly by amphibolites, with compositions corresponding to low-Ti, high-Al tholeiitic basalts; minor microgneisses and micaquartz-feldspar schists with low-alkaline plagiorhyodacitic compositions; plagioclase amphibolites, biotite-amphibole-plagioclase schists and porphyritic quartz-feldspar rocks of a calc-alkaline basalt-andesibasalt-andesite-dacite series (Nozhkin, 1996, 1997). The latter prevail in the upper part of the section where they are usually interlayered with members and horizons of metaterrigenous mica-quartz-feldspar schists and metasandstones, mica-feldspar quartzitic schists and calcitic

marbles. The metavolcanic sedimentary rocks of this block are assigned to the Yudinka sequence in the legend of the state geologic map (Kachevskii, 2002). In addition to metasediments, these metavolcanics comprise many stratified bodies of highly aluminous apogabbro amphibolites (Yarlychikha complex) and veins of foliated granitoids, representing the intrusive equivalent of the respective extrusives. Field relations and geochemical data indicate that the initial rocks of the Western block form five rock suites: plagiorhyolite-basalt, basalt-andesibasalt-andesite-dacite, carbonate-terrigenous, gabbro, and diorite-plagiogranite. The whole-rock major and trace element signatures of these volcanic suites correspond to magmatic rocks from a juvenile island-arc setting (Kovalenko, 1987). The island-arc rocks of the Eastern Block form a suite of differentiated calc-alkaline and bimodal subalkaline K-Na-type extrusive rocks and their tuffs metamorphosed at epidote-amphibolite- to greenschist-facies conditions. They are mostly amphibolites, plagioclase-biotite-amphibole schists, micaceous quartz-feldspar schists and porphyroids for which the protoliths are a suite of basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. Compared to the metavolcanic rocks of the Western Block, they exhibit enrichments in alkalis and other LILE (Rb, Ba, U, and Th), HFSE, and REE, typical of more mature island arcs (Nozhkin, 1997). The bimodal basalt-rhyolite suite comprises alkaline Fe-Ti-P-rich metabasalts, subalkaline rhyodacite and rhyolites, as well as their subvolcanic equivalents, such as subalkaline microgranites (Nozhkin, 1997). Both basic and felsic metavolcanic rocks are intercalated with plagioclase- and mica-rich quartzites, quartzite schists, greenish gray two-mica plagioclase-quartz and amphibole-plagioclase-quartz aleuroschists, with rare interlayers of iron-rich quartzites and members of thinly-laminated terrigenous and volcaniclastic greenschists. The metavolcanosedimentary rocks of the Eastern block are assigned to the Predivinsk sequence in the legend of the state geologic map (Kachevskii, 2002). A tectonized section of this unit comprises lenses and thin bands of dynamically metamorphosed apoharzburgite serpentinite and apogabbro amphibolite in association with tholeiitic basalts with an N-MORB affinity typical of ophiolites (Chernykh, 2001; Nozhkin, 1997). The island-arc volcanic sequences that crop out in the southern part of the Eastern Block include metamorphosed high-Ti gabbros and diorites of the Shivera massif, corresponding in chemical composition to high-Ti subalkaline metabasalts from a bimodal suite, as well as granodiorites and plagiogranites of the Yagunov massif (Fig. 1). The following types of terrigenous metasedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane are recognized: mica-quartz-feldspar aleuroschists and metasandstones (Bt + Qz + Pl + Ms ± Grt ± Or ± Ep ± Ttn + Ap + Zrn), mica-feldspar quartzite schists (metasandstones) (Qz + Pl ± Ms ± Bt ± Or ± Ap + Zrn) in the Yudinka sequence; greenish gray two-mica plagioclase-quartz and biotite-amphibole-plagioclase-quartz aleuroschists (Pl + Qz + Amp + Bt + Ep ± Chl ± Ms ± Mag), plagioclase and mica quartzites and quartzite schists (metasandstones) (Qz + Pl + Ms ± Bt ± Ep ± Grt), and thinly laminated greenschists (Pl + Amp + Bt + Ep + Zo ± Chl ± Ms ± Kls + Mag) in the

Predivinsk sequence. All mineral abbreviations are from Whitney and Evans (2010).

Methods Whole-rock major elements were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence with an ARL-9900-XP spectrometer at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (analysts N.M. Glukhova and N.G. Karmanov). The precision of the data for all components was not better than 5% rel. Trace and rare-earth elements were analyzed using a a Finnigan MAT Element high-resolution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) at the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry, Ural branch, Russian Academy of Sciences under the guidance of Yu.L. Ronkin. For all these elements, the detection limits ranged between 0.005 and 0.1 µg/g. The precision averaged 2–7% rel. Concentrations of REE and other trace elements were analyzed in a few metavolcanic samples using neutron activation analysis (analyst V.S. Parkhomenko) and synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (analyst Yu.P. Kolomogorov), respectively. The results obtained using different analytical methods on the same samples were in reasonable agreement. The composition of mineral phases was determined using a JEOL JXA-8100 electron microprobe at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk) following a standard procedure described elsewhere (Kozlov et al., 2012; Likhanov and Reverdatto, 2007). Zircons for U–Pb analysis were separated using conventional heavy liquid and magnetic mineral separation techniques at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. Zircon internal structures were investigated by reflected and transmitted light microscopy as well as by cathodoluminescence images. U–Pb analyses of zircons from terrigenous metasedimentary rocks were performed using a Nu Plasma ICP-MS (Nu Instruments) coupled with an excimer laser ablation system (Resonetics Resolution M-50-HR) at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Hong Kong. The 91,500 zircon was used as the external reference standard for U-Pb isotope analyses. Detailed analytical protocols are provided in Xia et al. (2011). The GJ-1 zircon standard with a weighted mean 206 Pb/238U 605.3 ± 1.4 Ma (2σ, MSWD = 0.052, probability = 1.0, n = 28) was used for quality control. The reduction of data and age calculation were carried out using ICPMSDataCal (Liu et al., 2010) and Isoplot/Ex v.3 (Ludwig, 2003). The ages and the ratios obtained from the individual analysis are within ±1σ error. The U–Pb dating of zircons from felsic metavolcanics of the Yudinka sequence was performed using a SHRIMP-II ion microprobe at the Center for Isotopic Research, All-Russian Research Institute of Geology (VSEGEI), St. Petersburg (analyst E.N. Lepikhina). Zircon grains were handpicked and mounted in epoxy together with chips of the reference zircons

(TEMORA and 91500). SHRIMP-II U-Pb isotope analyses were made using the procedure described by Williams (1998). The data were processed using SQUID (Ludwig, 2000) and Isoplot/Ex (Ludwig, 1999). Concentrations of Nd and Sm were analyzed at the Geological Institute, Komi Scientific Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Apatity (analyst P.A. Serov) using a Finnigan Mat-262 (RPQ) seven-channel solid phase mass spectrometer in static collection mode on a Re and Ta filament configuration following the methods described by Bayanova (2004). Analytical errors for Nd isotopic composition in the individual analysis did not exceed 0.004%. Total procedural blanks were 0.3 ng for Nd and 0.06 ng for Sm. Concentrations of Sm and Nd were measured with a typical precision of ±0.5%. Isotope ratios were normalized to 146Nd/144Nd values of 0.7219 and then corrected to 143Nd/144Nd values of 0.511860 reported for the La Jolla standard. The εNd values and T(DM) model ages were calculated using the currently accepted CHUR (chondritic uniform reservoir) values of 143Nd/144Nd = 0.512638, 147 Sm/144Nd = 0.1967 (Jacobsen and Wasserburg, 1984) and DM (depleted mantle) values of 143Nd/144Nd=0.513151, 147 Sm/144Nd = 0.2136 (Goldstein and Jacobsen, 1988). The Ar–Ar dating was performed at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, following the methods described by Ponomarchuk et al. (1998). Argon isotopes were measured on a Micromass Noble Gas 5400 mass spectrometer (analysts V.A. Ponomarchuk and A.V. Travin). All ages are quoted at ±1σ. The plateau definition was carried out using the criteria of Fleck et al. (1977).

Rock geochemistry and isotope composition Table 1 shows representative major, trace and rare-earth element compositions of rock samples from the Predivinsk terrane. Major elements. All the studied rock samples (over 200) were designated ortho- and pararocks based on their petrography and major-element geochemistry. The values of the chemical index of alteration, CIA = (Al2O3/(Al2O3 + CaO + Na2O + K2O)) × 100) (Nesbitt and Young, 1982, 1984) equal to 50 were used to discriminate between ortho- and pararocks. Mica-quartz-feldspar aleuroschistsand metasandstones of the Yudinka sequence, as well as plagioclase- and mica-rich quartzites and quartzite schists of the Predivinsk sequence have lower CIA values of 50–67. These rocks show a general positive correlation between Al and Ti (rAl-Ti = 0.54 and 0.68 for Yudinka and Predivinsk rocks, respectively) and a negative correlation between SiO2 and Th (rSi-Th = –0.57; –0.77), which can be explained by a marked decrease in the content of Th with increasing quartz content in terrigenous rocks. This suggests a sedimentary origin for these rocks. Amphibole-plagioclase-quartz and thinly laminated greenschists of the Predivinsk sequence with CIA of 47–50 are also likely to be of metasedimentary origin. This is confirmed by the presence of bedding and elemental variations that are atypical of

igneous rocks (a strong negative, not positive, correlation between Th and SiO2 (rSi-Th = –0.72) and a positive correlation between K2O and Al2O3, TiO2 (rAl-K = 0.71, rTi-K = 0.71). In general, the analyzed terrigenous rocks are characterized by wide variations in major-element chemistry (in wt.%): SiO2 (56–78%), TiO2 (0.22–1.99), Al2O3 (11–19), Fe2O3* (1.9– 9.8), MgO (0.5–3.7), CaO (0.5–6.2), Na2O (1.75–6.0), K2O (0.32–3.05) (Table 1), with the predominance of Na2O over K2O. Greenschists are more enriched in Ti, Fe, Mg, and Ca, whereas quartzite schists and metasandstones have higher silica and alkali contents as compared to aleuroschists. Trace and rare-earth elements. The terrigenous rocks of the Predivinsk terrane are characterized by a relative depletion of LILE and HFSE (Cs, Rb, Ba, Ti, U, Th, La, Ce, Zr, Hf, and Nb), as well as Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sn, Mo, W, and Ga and enrichment of HREE and Y relative to PAAS (PostArchean Australian Shale) (Table 1, Fig. 2), except for quartzites and quartzite schists, which are characterized by a relative enrichment of some HFSE (Nb, Zr, Hf, and Y) found in heavy minerals. Some elements, such as Sc and Sr, as well as Fe, Mg, and Ca, typical of basic and intermediate igneous rocks are enriched in mica-amphibole-feldspar-quartz and thinly laminated greenschists of the Predivinsk sequence relative to PAAS (Table 1, Fig. 2b, c). Mica-quartz-feldspar aleuroschistsand metasandstones of the Yudinka sequence show the strongest enrichment of K, Th, Rb, and Cs compared with other types of terrigenous rocks. For example, the average contents of K and Th measured in 15 samples are equal to 2.4 ± 0.4% and 9.5 ± 2.5 ppm, whereas these values may reach 14–15 ppm (for Th) and 3–3.2% (for K) in individual samples. Note for comparison that K and Th contents of amphiboleplagioclase-quartz and thinly laminated greenschists are equal to 1.3% and 4.1 ppm. The associated volcanics have the _ highest Th content, _e.g., rhyolites (xTh = 6.6 ± 1.9; n = 28) and trachyrhyolites (xTh = 8.1 ± 1; n = 9) (Nozhkin, 1985b). But even thses values are lower than those of aleuroschistsand sandstones. Such elevated conentrations of K and Th in terrigenous rocks of the Yudinka sequence may point to a highly differentiated crustal component, i.e., granitic gneisses. The measured REE patterns for mica-quartz-feldspar aleuroschistsand metasandstones of the Yudinka sequence and thinly laminated greenschists of the Predivinsk sequence have a slight negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu* = 0.8–0.97) and generally low (La/Yb)n ratio of 2.8–6.1 (Table 1, Fig. 3a, c). Quartzites and quartzite schists of the Predivinsk sequence have more pronounced negative Eu anomaly (0.5–0.6) and low (La/Yb)n ratio of 2.0–4.5 (Fig. 3d). Most silica-poor mica-amphibole-feldspar-quartz schists of the Predivinsk sequence have a less pronounced Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu* = 0.63–0.89) (Fig. 3b). Comparison between REE contents of quartzites and schists shows a general inverse correlation between Eu/Eu* and SiO2 (Table 2). Nd isotopic characteristics. 147Sm/144Nd ratios of most of the analyzed rocks are different from the typical average crustal value of 0.12, which allows interpretation using single-stage T(DM) model ages (Table 3).

tasedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane yielded TNd(DM) model ages within the range of 753–845 (εNd(630) from +6.3 to +7.4), except for one sample of garnet-biotitequartz-feldspar aleuroschistsfrom the Yudinka sequence (A146-82a), which has a significantly negative εNd value (–2.3) and older TNd(DM) age (1565 Ma).

Isotope geochronology U–Pb age of island-arc suites. The timing of formation of volcano-terrigenous rocks of the Yudinka sequence was determined based on the results of SHRIMP II U–Pb zircon dating of metarhyodacite from the basalt-andesibasalt-an-

desite-dacite suite of the Western Block. Interlayering of metavolcanics, metasediments and marmorized limestones in this suite implies their approximately synchronous formation. Sample A-35-12 was collected from exposed bedrock on the right side of the Yudinka River valley (a tributary of the Yenisei River), 1.5 km above the mouth (57°00′18.9″ N, 93°23′41.8″ E). The studied rhyodacite is composed primarily of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar and minor (up to 5%) biotite, muscovite, clinozoisite, with accessory apatite and zircon. The rock has a fine-grained granoblastic texture. Zircons occur as transparent pale pink, long-prismatic or bipyramidal grains, 200–500 µm in size, with an elongation ratio of 1–1.5. Cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging reveals fine oscillatory zoning typical of magmatic zircons. Nine

analyses of nine zircon grains yielded a concordant age of 618.8 ± 3.9 Ma (MSWD = 0.96) (Fig. 4, Table 4). The age of 618.8 ± 3.9 Ma obtained on zoned zircon grains is taken to record zircon crystallization from an andesite-dacite melt and to reflect the ages of basalt-andesibasalt-andesite-dacite volcanics and sedimentary rocks of the Yudinka sequence. Previous zircon U–Pb dating of trachyrhyolites from the bimodal volcanic suite of the Eastern Block and plagiogranites of the Yagun massif show that they formed at 637 ± 5.7 Ma and 628 ± 3 Ma, respectively (Vernikovsky et al., 1999, 2009). The results indicate that these island-arc rocks formed during the late Neoproterozoic–Vendian. LA–ICP-MS U–Pb dating of detrital zircons. LA–ICPMS U–Pb dating of detrital zircons separated from a biotitequartz-feldspar metasandstone (sample A-37-12) (Qz + Pl + Bt + Ms + Grt + Ep + Ttn + Ap + Zrn) was carried out to determine the crystallization age of the protoliths of the Yudinka terrigenous metasedimentary rocks. This sample was collected on the right side of the Yenisei River valley, 0.6 km above the mouth of the Yudinka River (56°59′89.0″ N, 93°22′48.8″ E). The rocks is foliated, inequigranular; the clastic component is represented by long-prismatic or, more rarely, isometric, thin tabular plagioclase grains ranging in size from 0.2–3 to 4–5 mm. the fine-grained blastically recrystallized groundmass consists of a biotite-quartz-feldspar aggregate, with minor muscovite, titanite, epidote, garnet, and accessory apatite and zircon. All the zircons extracted from this sample are transparent to translucent pale pink and brownish grains, with variably preserved long-prismatic outline and smooth bipyramidal edges, ranging in size from 100 to 250 µm and have an elongation ratio of 1:4–1:1. Cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging reveals fine oscillatory zoning typical of magmatic zircons. The age histogram and relative probability curve were built on data from 57 zircon grains with >95% concordance (Table 5). The detrital zircon population is dominated by grains between 610 and 640 Ma, with the peak at 620 Ma (Fig. 5). All the analysis points define three clusters in a concordia diagram at 619, 628, and 637 Ma (Fig. 5). These

data are consistent with the ages of island-arc rhyodacites (619 ± 4 Ma) of the Yudinka sequence, Western Block, trachyrhyolites (637 ± 5.7 Ma) of the Predivinsk sequence, Eastern Block, and plagiogranites of the Yagun massif (628 ± 3 Ma), which could be likely sources of detrital material for terrigenous rocks of the Yudinka sequence. For discordant zircons clustering at 590–610 Ma, the original older age can be rejuvenated during Vendian metamorphism events.

P-T conditions and timing and metamorphism Mineral assemblages indicate that the volcanosedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane range in metamorphic grade from epidote-amphibolite facies to locally retrograde greenschist facies along zones of intense shearing and brecciation (Reverdatto and Khlestov, 1986). This is confirmed by P-T estimated based on coexisting minerals. The mineral assemblages used to constrain P-T conditions of metamorphism include: Grt-Pl-Bt in felsic metavolcanics (sample 324-1), Grt-Bt-Ms-Pl in metapelites (sample 319) and Amp-Pl-Bt in metabasites (sample 332) of the Yudinka sequence (samples collected on the right side of the Yenisei River valley, 4.5–2.0 km upstream the Yudinka River), and Amp-Pl in metagabbro-amphibolites (sample 40-12) of the Yarlychikha massif. The mineral assemblages in metapelites and felsic metavolcanics are usually represented by coarsegrained weakly deformed garnet porphyroblasts in contact with other mineral (plagioclase and mica) in the absence of any reaction textures. The mineral assemblages in metabasites of the Yudinka sequence were subjected to intense dynamic metamorphism and recrystallization accompanied by the formation of prominent blastomylonite zones. The bulk chemical composition and P-T estimates are given in Table 6. Garnet from the rocks of the Yudinka sequence ranges in composition from Alm58, Prp15, Grs6, Sps21 with XFe = 0.80 in metapelites to Alm86, Prp7, Grs7, Spsl with XFe = 0.92 in felsic metavolcanics (Table 6). The anorthite component in plagioclase XAn = Ca/(Ca + Na + K) varies from 0.33

in metapelites to 0.25 in felsic metavolcanics. Biotite from these rocks exhibits variations in TiO2 (1.7–2.1 wt.%) and XFe (0.44–0.57). Muscovite from metapelites are celadonite-rich ((Mg + Fe)/(Mg + Fe + AlVI) = 0.21) and paragonite-poor (XNa = 0.05). Hornblende from metabasites of the Yudinka sequence and Yarlychikha massif has different TiO2 contents (0.8 and 1.3 wt.%) and K2O (1.5 and 0.4 wt.%) and XFe (0.55 and 0.4), respectively. The composition of plagioclase varies from XAn = 0.37 in metabasites of the Yudinka sequence to XAn = 0.45 in metabasites of the Yarlychikha massif. The maximum metamorphic pressures and temperatures for the garnet-containing metapelites and felsic metavolcanics were estimated using the calibration with appropriate activitycomposition models for the Grt-Bt geothermometer (Holdaway, 2000) and Grt-Bt-Pl-Qz geobarometer (Wu et al., 2004), Grt-Bt geothermometer (Ferry and Spear, 1978) and Grt-BtMs-Pl geobarometer (Ghent and Stout, 1981), Grt-Ms geothermometer and Grt-Ms-Pl-Qz geobarometer (Wu and Zhao, 2006). The Amp-Pl geothermometer (Blundy and Holland, 1990) and Amp-Pl-Qz geobarometer (Bhadra and Bhattacharya, 2007) were used to determine pressures and temperatures in garnet-free mineral assemblages from metabasites. The P-T estimates for these rocks were calculated for the combination of the geobarometers and geothermometers using the NullSpace procedure of the Mathematica 5.0 package (Korobeinikov et al., 2006; Wolfram, 2003). Uncertainties in temperature and pressure estimates obtained by the simultaneous use of geothermometers and geobarometers were calculated considering the contributions of analytical errors and errors in a reaction enthalpy as no higher than ±30 °C and ±1 kbar (Likhanov and Reverdatto, 2002, 2011). These values are similar to commonly accepted uncertainties of geothermobarometers (Kohn and Spear, 1991; Kontorovich et al., 1997). For an independent pressure control, these values were compared with the pressure estimates using four calibrations of the Al–Hrb geobarometer (Anderson and Smith, 1995; Hammarstrom and Zen, 1986; Hollister et al., 1987; Schmidt,

1992). The values obtained by different geobarometers and geothermometers are consistent within the commonly accepted uncertainties. The P-T estimates vary within 4.8 kbar/520 °C for felsic metavolcanics, 5.5–6 kbar/640–660 °C for metapelites of the Yudinka sequence and 4.6–5 kbar/640 °C for metabasites of the Yarlychikha massif, which correspond to epidote-amphibolite facies conditions. The higher P-T estimates are reported from epidote-amphibolite to amphibolite facies metabasites of this sequence (6.8–7.8 kbar/700 °C) (Table 5). These differences in metamoprhic P-T parameters can be explained by tectonic control in the Predivinsk and Yenisei shear zones along faults (Likhanov et al., 2011, 2015b). The parameters calculated in this study are consistent with the results of numerical modeling, indicating the development of tectonic overpressure (Schmalholz and Podladchikov, 2013) and heating of rocks in excess of lithostatic pressure in ductile shear zones at upper-mid crustal depths (Burg and Gerya, 2005; Burg and Schmalholz, 2008). The timing of metamorphism was constrained by Ar–Ar dating of hornblende separates from amphibolites (metabasites) in the island-arc rock suite of the Predivinsk terrane. The plateau ages of 606 ± 8 and 614 ± 8 Ma recorded by hornblende from the Yudinka (sample 116-78) and Predivinsk (sample 16) sequences (Fig. 6) suggest that metamorphism of volcaniclastic rocks at ca. 600–610 Ma was related to the Vendian accretion/collision event along the western margin of the Siberian craton (Nozhkin et al., 2007), which resulted in the accretion of the Predivinsk terrane to the Early Precambrian Angara–Kan block.

Note. For plagioclase, anorthite content XAn = Ca/(Ca + Na + K); for the remaining minerals, XFe = Fe/(Fe + Mg). Total Fe is expressed as FeO. The blank means below the microprobe detection limit. The structural formulas of the minerals are calculated on the basis of a fixed number of oxygen atoms, denoted as n(O). P/T are the P-T estimates obtained using different modifications of geothermometers and geobarometers for garnet-free (1, (Bhadra and Bhattacharya, 2007; Blundy and Holland, 1990)) and garnet-containing assemblages (2, (Holdaway, 2000; Wu et al., 2004); 3, (Wu and Zhao, 2006); 4, (Ferry and Spear, 1978; Ghent and Stout, 1981)). P, kbar are pressures calculated using four calibrations of the Al–Hbl geobarometer: 1, (Hammarstrom and Zen, 1986); 2, (Schmidt, 1992); 3, (Hollister et al., 1987); 4, (Anderson and Smith, 1995).

Neelov (1980) and Herron (1988). The chemical data for the aleuroschistsand metasandstones of the Yudinka sequence are plotted in the field of shales and wackes in the first diagram and in the field of aleuropelites, polymictic and graywacke aleurolites (Fig. 7a, b). In these diagrams, aleuroschistsof the Predivinsk sequence are identified as shales and Fe-rich shales, graywacke aleurolites and aleuropelites. Quartzite schists and quartzites are classified as wackes in Herron’s diagram or as polymictic psammitolites in Neelov’s diagram. The terrigenous rocks of the Predivinsk terrane are characterized by a positive correlation between the titanium and femic modules (TM–FM) and a negative correlation between the hydrolysate and normalized alkalinity modules (HM–

NAM) (Fig. 8) (Yudovich and Ketris, 2011), which suggests that the studied sediments can be classified as the first cycle rocks. Composition and chemical maturity of eroded sediments. The normative mineralogy calculated using the MINLITH program (Rosen et al., 1999) provides preliminary estimates of the original premetamorphic mineralogical composition of metasedimentary rocks. Recalculations of silicate analyses to the normative mineral composition (Table 1) show that the original sediments are dominated by a clastic component, i.e., quartz (17–50%) and feldspar (14–56%), with minor amounts of acidic plagioclase and sometimes K-feldspar (up to 11%). The clay component is represented by normative illite

1585

(1–31%) and chlorite (up to 24%) in aleuroschists from both sequences, and only illite (3–31%) in quartzite schists. It should be taken in to account in the interpretation of the normative mineral composition that the normative mineralogy reflects the composition of mature sediments in which clasts of volcanic rocks and dark-colored minerals were totally destroyed by chemical weathering. A high proportion of chlorite indicates the presence of fragments of basic rocks and dark-colored minerals in the original sedimentary rocks. Micaor amphibole-rich felsic rocks are characterized by normative feldspar-quartz with minor illite at the expense of mica and normative montmorillonite at the expense of amphibole. The normative mineral composition indicates that greenschists of the Predivinsk sequence containing a high proportion of normative chlorite are weathering products of igneous rocks of basic and intermediate composition, whereas quartzite schists of the Predivinsk sequence and biotite-quartz-feldspar aleuroschists and metasandstones of the Yudinka sequence are weathering products of felsic and intermediate rocks. The presence of plagioclase, illite, and sometimes smectite (normative montmorillonite) and the absence of kaolinite in the primary composition of metasedimentary rocks point to a poorly differentiated character of these sediments. This is supported by low values of the chemical index of alteration (CIA) ranging from 47 to 67. The chemical data for the studied metasediments on a F1 vs. F2 plot (Roser and Korsch, 1988) indicate that the terrigenous rocks of the Yudinka sequence and quartzites of the Predivinsk sequence were derived from intermediate and felsic rocks, whereas the amphibole-plagioclase-quartz and greenschists were derived from intermediate and, to a lesser extent, basic rocks (Fig. 9a). It was also shown that the

greenschists are relatively enriched in Ti, Fe, Ca, and Mg, which are typical of rocks of intermediate and basic composition, while the quartzite schists and metasandstones are enriched in alkalis and silica, which are typical of felsic magmatic rocks.

The distribution and concentrations of trace elements (REE, Th, Sc, La, Co, etc.) and their indicator ratios (e.g., Th/Co and La/Sc) provide important information on the provenance. Comparison of Th/Co and La/Sc ratios in the studied rocks with the composition of sediments derived from granitoids and basic rocks (Cullers, 2002) shows that the terrigenous sediments of the Predivinsk terrane were derived from felsic and intermediate and, to a lesser extent, basic sources. A plot of Th/Co vs. La/Sc shows that the analyzed terrigenous metasedimentary rocks define a common trend reflecting representative compositions of metavolcanic rocks (Table 2) and associated metasediments (Fig. 9b). The (La/Yb)n and Eu/Eu* ratios of terrigenous metasedimentary rocks and associated metavolcanics are characteristic

of the provenance of terrigenous debris. For example, micafeldspar-quartz aleuroschists and metasandstones ((La/Yb)n = 3–6; Eu/Eu* = 0.8–1.0) may have been derived from the weathering of the associated andesibasalt-andesite-dacite volcanics with REE patterns similar to those of sedimentary rocks ((La/Yb)n = 5–9; Eu/Eu* = 0.8–0.95) (Fig. 3a). The REE patterns of quartzite schists and quartzites of the Predivinsk sequence with a pronounced negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu* = 0.5–0.6) and low (La/Yb)n ratios (2.0–4.1) correspond to those of rhyodacite-rhyolite volcanics from the basalt-andesite-rhyolite suite of this sequence, which could be the primary sources of these rocks (Table 2, Fig. 3d). The REE distribution patterns of some quartzite samples (e.g., sample 225-78) exhibiting a general absence of Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.87)

Plots of SiO2 vs. (K2O/Na2O) (Roser and Korsch, 1986) (a) and La–Th–Sc (Bhatia and Crook, 1986) (b) showing chemical compositions of metasedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk and Yudinka sequences.

and elevated (La/Yb)n values (4.5) are similar to those of the associated tonalites ((La/Yb)n = 4.3; Eu/Eu* = 0.9). The REE patterns of amphibole-plagioclase-quartz aleuroschists and greenschists of the Predivinsk sequence suggest that basalts and andesites from the basalt-andesite-rhyolite suite of the Predivinsk sequence, which exhibit the poorly differentiated REE pattern with a slight negative Eu anomaly were subjected to weathering together with the rocks of rhyolitic composition. Therefore, elemental distributions indicate that the sedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane were derived from local sources represented by subduction complexes of associated magmatic rocks. Various discrimination diagrams confirm the subduction character of terrigenous sediments of the Predivinsk terrane. On a plot of SiO2 vs. (K2O/Na2O) (Roser and Korsch, 1986), almost all chemical data for metasedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane are plotted in the field of subduction settings, i.e., active continental margins and oceanic island arcs (Fig. 10a). Based on their elemental ratios (La–Sc–Th), the studied sedimentary rocks can be identified as island-arc graywackes (Bhatia and Crook, 1986) (Fig. 10b). The mostly positive εNd composition and similar TNd(DM) values of terrigenous rocks of the Predivinsk terrane suggest derivation from nearly coeval volcanic complexes (Table 3). The terrigenous metasediments of the Predivinsk terrane have a TNd(DM) model age ranging from 753 to 845 Ma (εNd(630) from +6.3 to +7.4), while metaandesite and metadacite from these sequences display TNd(DM) ages of 819–872 Ma and 630 Ma and εNd values of +6.5 and +6.6, respectively. At the same time, one sample (A-146-82a) with significantly older TNd(DM) age of 1565 Ma and a negative εNd value of –2.3 and elevated Th, Rb, and K contents (Table 1) may indicate involvement of a minor amount of the mature crustal materials in these mica-feldspar-quartz metasandstones. This mature crustal material could have been derived from the weathered products of granulite-gneiss and amphibolite-gneiss complexes

of the Angara–Kan block, which are significantly enriched in these elements (Nozhkin and Turkina, 1993; Nozhkin et al., 2012, 2016). This also agrees with the paleomagnetic reconstructions implying a spatial proximity of the Predivinsk island arc and the Siberian craton at the time of their accretion (Metelkin et al., 2004). The timing of formation and accretion of island arc complexes the Predivinsk terrane to the Siberian craton. The available geochronological data suggest that the age of the sources of clastic material in terrigenous sediments of the Yudinka sequence of the Predivinsk terrane must be in the range 610–640 Ma, as indicated by a predominance of these ages in the population of detrital zircons. These results are consistent with zircon U–Pb ages of 619 ± 4 Ma (this study) and 637 ± 5.7 (Vernikovsky et al., 2009) obtained for islandarc rhyolites from two different suites within the Yudinka and Predivinsk sequences. They clearly indicate that the island-arc volcanosedimentary sequences of the Predivinsk terrane formed during Early Vendian time. A major thermotectonic event provides an upper age limit of island-arc complexes. The Ar–Ar ages of hornblende from amphibolites (metabasites) (606 ± 8 and 614 ± 8 Ma) from two distinct volcanic suites of the Yudinka and Predivinsk sequences, respectively, suggest that this event took place at ca. 600–610 Ma during the Vendian as a result of an early accretion/collision stage along the western margin of the Siberianîãî craton (Nozhkin et al., 2007). These results are in close agreement with the our previous Ar–Ar data on biotite (603–605 Ma) from blastomylonites of the Yenisei regional shear zones and biotite (604 ± 5 Ma) from the basanite dike of the Isakovka terrane embedded in the sequence of intensely foliated flyschoid rocks of the accretionary belt (Likhanov et al., 2015a). The Vendian episode (590–620 Ma) is assumed to record the accretions of an island arc and ophiolitic thrust nappes of the Isakovka terrane to the Siberian craton (Vernikovsky et al., 1994). The data on the Yenisei segment of the

A.D. Nozhkin et al. / Russian Geology and Geophysics 57 (2016) 1570–1590

accretionary belt are consistent with the ages of metamorphic rocks from the Northwestern Sayan region (Kan block and Arzybei terrane), which form part, together with the Yenisei Ridge, of the Sayan–Yenisei accretionary–collision belt (Nozhkin et al., 2003, 2007; Turkina et al., 2007). Previous studies show that the Vendian orogeny was manifested not only in the amalgamation of several terranes of different ages, but also in their collision with the Siberian continental margin, as recorded by synchronous thermotectonic events and emplacement of syn-collisional granitoids. Therefore, our results confirm that the Vendian accretion-collisional event resulted in the formation of the Sayan–Yenisei accretionary belt, the accretion of the continental crust to the margin of the Siberian craton and its subsequent thermotectonic reworking. Conclusions The distribution of major and trace elements shows that the protoliths of metasedimentary rocks in the Predivinsk terrane were predominantly mature terrigenous sediments derived from a local source, which was represented by island-arc magmatic rocks. The chemical data and paleogeodynamic reconstructions indicate that the studied terrigenous rocks were deposited in a subduction setting. The age of the sources of clastic material in terrigenous sediments of the Yudinka sequence of the Predivinsk terrane must be in the range 610–640 Ma, which is consistent with a zircon U–Pb age of ~620–640 Ma (this study) obtained for rhyolites from two different suites within the Yudinka and Predivinsk sequences. The geochronological constraints indicate that the terrigenous rocks were eroded from juvenile crustal sources represented primarily by magmatic rocks, which are similar to those of the Predivinsk terrane. This is supported by a similar range of model ages, positive εNd values of terrigenous and magmatic rocks, and U–Pb ages of detrital zircons and zircons from magmatic rocks. The P-T conditions for volcanosedimentary rocks of the Predivinsk terrane correspond to the epidote-amphibolite facies and the transition from epidote-amphibolite to amphibolite facies. The most likely age of metamorphism due to Vendian accretion/collision events is given by Ar–Ar dates of 600– 610 Ma. Acknowledgments. The authors are grateful to Yu.L.
