Ab. Kotov et al., AGE OF METAMORPHISM OF THE SLYUDYANKA CRYSTALLINE COMPLEX, SOUTHERN BAIKAL AREA - U-PB GEOCHRONOLOGY OF GRANITOIDS, PETROLOGY, 5(4), 1997, pp. 338-349
U-Pb zircon ages of synmetamorphic granitoids (481 +/- 5 Ma) and postm
etamorphic quartz syenites (474 +/- 5 Ma) of the Slyudyanka crystallin
e complex were determined. These rocks formed during the second tecton
o-metamorphic cycle and were metamorphosed to granulite facies. Accord
ing to our geochronological data, the high-temperature metamorphism of
the southern Baikal crystalline complexes occurred during the Early P
aleozoic regional evolutionary stage.
