Abstract

Abstract: This data on the age of metamorphism of rocks of the Yelabuga zone and the geochronological data on detrital zircon from paragneisses of the same zone are presented, and their correlation with the ages of rocks from the Middle Volga megablock is made. The rocks of the Yelabuga zone and Middle Volga megablock have similar geochemical characteristics and degrees of metamorphism, but demonstrate the following differences: Paleoproterozoic metamorphism was clearly expressed in the studied rocks of the Yelabuga zone, which contrasts to rocks of the Middle Volga megablock, where no metamorphism of this age is manifested. The study of the U–Pb isotopic system in external zones of zircon crystals from the Yelabuga deformation zone suggests that rocks underwent two stages of metamorphism, 1.99 and 1.95 Ga ago. (Less)
