Abstract

New UPb zircon ages and SmNd data are presented for layered basic-ultrabasic intrusions of the Kola Peninsula and northern Karelia in the northeastern part of the Baltic Shield. All ages are in the range between 2.5 and 2.4 Ga, but there appear to exist three phases of intrusion. Thus the Monchegorsk Intrusion and the Fedorovy-Pansky Massif have ages between 2493 and 2470 Ma, the Kivakka and Lukkulaisvaara massifs of the Olanga group of intrusions between 2445 and 2435 Ma, while the Imandra Lopolith is 2396±7 Ma old. A narrow range of negative ϵNd(T) values between −2.3 and −1.2 suggests formation by partial melting of a semi-homogeneous enriched mantle source.

    Any event that occurred later than that would not have afforded sufficient time to develop such radiogenic ε143Nd and ε176Hf in the mantle domain. It is noteworthy that 2.45 Ga coincides with the ages of abundant mafic layered intrusions (Alapieti et al., 1990; Balashov et al., 1993; Amelin et al., 1995; Yang et al., 2016) and komatiitic lavas (Puchtel et al., 1997, 2016b) throughout the Fennoscandian Shield, indicating that large volumes of mafic magma were indeed produced in this part of the planet at that time. Using this extent and time of melting, and applying a bulk DRe = 0.2, model calculations indicate that the melting event that produced this light REE depletion would have reduced the 187Re/188Os ratio in the chondritic reservoir from 0.4019 to 0.2694 at 2.45 Ga.

    Detailed geological and petrological descriptions of the Kivakka layered intrusion can be found in the work of Koptev-Dvornikov (2001). The isotopic dating of the massif yielded the following ages: 2420 ± 23 Ma (SmNd), 2445 ± 3.4 Ma (Zr) and 2444 ± 1 Ma and 2445 ± 2 Ma (Amelin and Semenov, 1990a, 1990b, 1996; Barkov et al., 1991; Balashov et al., 1993). The climate of most of the territory is mildly cold, transitionining between oceanic and continental, with a dominant influence of the Arctic and Northern Atlantics.
