Geodynamic Model of the Neoproterozoic Evolution of the Yenisei Paleosubduction Zone (Western Margin of the Siberian Craton), Russia

Geotectonics Aims and scope

Abstract

The article proposes a model of collisional and accretionary events of the Neoproterozoic at the western margin of the Siberian Craton based on the results of geological, petrological, and geochronological studies of Precambrian complexes of the Yenisei Ridge and comprehensive geophysical data. Mineralogical and petrological evidence of paleosubduction is presented, represented by relicts of glaucophane-bearing high-pressure mineral assemblages in metabasites (630‒620 Ma) within the tectonic mélange of the suture zone and by metamorphosed ophiolites and island arc complexes of the Isakovka and Predivinsk terranes (700–600 Ma) of the Sayan–Yenisei accretionary belt. The proposed geodynamic evolutionary model of the Yenisei paleosubduction zone includes reconstructions for time intervals of 740‒700, 640‒600, 580‒540 Ma, during which a suture zone was formed as a result of collision of the Kas–Turukhansk microcontinent with the Siberian Craton. Tectonized fragments of the suture partially outcrop on the surface on the right bank of the Yenisei River. The bulk of the deformed and metamorphosed oceanic crust is buried beneath the Ediacaran and Phanerozoic sedimentary cover in the eastern part of the Kas–Turukhansk microcontinent, which is traceable by geophysical data. The history of the region’s geological development in the Late Meso‒Neoproterozoic correlates with synchronous endogenic events along the Arctic margin of the Nuna and Rodinia paleocontinents, which confirms the spatial proximity of the Siberian and North Atlantic cratons (Laurentia and Baltica) in a wide time range.
