Abstract
The present paper presents new U–Pb and Sm–Nd age data obtained for granulites of the Cheremshanskaya Unit enclosing metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary sulfide ores, in which sulfur isotope mass-independent fractionation (MIF–S) was established. Zircons from orthotectites that cut hosted paragranulites yielded aconcordant U–Pb age of 1866.8 ± 7.6 Ma, reflecting the final stage of granulite metamorphism. The model age (ТND (DM)) of ~3.0 Ga obtained for graphite–sulfide–cordierite (±Bt) and garnet–biotite–orthopyroxene paragneisses indicates that the protolith of sedimentary rocks was formed in the Mesoarchaean. As evidenced from various sources, the Sm–Nd isotopic characteristics of orthotectites differ from those of paragneisses.
