Abstract

New U–Pb and Sm–Nd isotope data have been obtained in the Kandalaksha–Kolvitsa zone, Baltic Shield, on accessory zircon and rutile, along with whole-rock and secondary metamorphic minerals. Isotope U–Pb age of single zircon grains from metagabbro of the Kandalaksha Anorthosite Massif is 2453.5 ± 4.8 Ma, which is close to the U–Pb age of zircon from the Kolvitsa Massif metagabbro (2448 ± 5 Ma). For the first time, REEs in zircon grains of the Kandalaksha metagabbro have been analyzed and the results have been plotted. Ti-in-zircon thermometry has been applied using LA–ICP–MS: it yielded an average temperature of zircon crystallization of 844°C. The isotope and geochemical new data obtained indicate a magmatic genesis of the zircon crystals studied.
