Rb–Sr and 147Sm–143Nd systematics of gabbro and dolerites from fragments of ophiolite complexes of the Middle Urals

Аннотация

The Rb–Sr and ¹⁴⁷Sm–¹⁴³Nd age data obtained for sheeted dolerite dykes and rocks of the Platinum Belt of the Urals within the Tagil segment of the paleoceanic spreading structure (Middle Urals) are discussed. The study of the Rb–Sr isotope systematics of gabbro allowed us to reveal errochronous dependencies, which yielded ages of 415 and 345 Ma at (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)₀ = 0.70385 ± 0.00068 and 0.7029 ± 0.0010, correspondingly. The ¹⁴⁷Sm–¹⁴³Nd isotope age data demonstrate a specific coincidence of the chronometric ages of the sheeted dolerite dyke complex (426 ± 54, 426 ± 34, and 424 ± 19 Ma) and gabbro from the Revda gabbro–ultramafic massif (431 ± 27 Ma) and from screens between dolerite dykes in the sheeted dyke complex (427 ± 32 Ma, 429 ± 26 Ma). The proximity of the ¹⁴⁷Sm–¹⁴³Nd ages of gabbro and dolerite can be explained by the thermal effect of the basaltic melt, which is the protolith for the dyke complex, on the hosting gabbro.
