Abstract

Results of the study of Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopic composition of Late Paleozoic granitoids of Central Chukotka are represented on the example of Kibera and Kuekvun plutons. The age of granitoids of these plutons and granites from pebbles in conglomerates in the base of overlying Lower Carboniferous deposits is 351–363 Ma (U–Pb zircon, TIMS, SIMS, LA–ICP–MS). Thus, granitoid magmatism corresponds in time to tectonic events of Elsmerian orogeny in Arctic region. Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopic composition of granitoids indicate participation of mantle and crustal components in the source of granite melts. Granitoids formation probably occurred in geodynamic setting of Andean type continental margin during the interaction between mantle melts, forming at the mantle wedge melting in suprasubduction conditions, and continental crust.
