Abstract
The Sm-Nd isotope-chronological method is used for the first time to investigate the whole rock and rock-forming minerals from metasomatic sillimanite orthopyroxene rocks in the Por’ya Guba nappe of the Lapland granulite belt. As a result isochrone values of the age are obtained, which allows estimate the minimum time intervals that have passed from the moment of formation of the investigated rocks. They indicate that peak conditions of collision metamorphism in fluid-permeable shear zones of the LGB occurred in the Paleoproterozoic Svekofennian age when high-temperature high-pressure sillimanite-orthopyroxene metasomatic rocks were formed. The obtained data make it possible to assume that, with regard to the measurement errors, high-pressure metasomatism did not last over 10 Ma, and this process did not coincide in time with older medium pressure metamorphism.
