Abstract
The C–O–Sr isotope composition of carbonates and the S–Sr isotope composition of gypsum were studied in the Ordovician section and the Upper Cambrian–Lower Silurian boundary horizons of the Vilyui structural-facies zone located in the central Siberian Platform. The upsection decrease of the 87Sr/86Sr ratio within 0.70920‒0.70795 and the value of δ34S ~ 25‒28‰, typical for the reference sections of this stratigraphic interval, indicates a good connection between the basin and the World Ocean in the Ordovician and Early Silurian, but its isolation in the Late Cambrian (Kholomolokh Formation) when the 87Sr/86Sr ratio (0.7085) was lower than the oceanic one. The sharp 87Sr/86Sr ratio decrease from ~0.7087 to 0.7080 in the Khar’yalakh Formation (~45 m thick) can be correlated with the interval from the upper Darriwilian-to-upper Sandbian stages of the ICC (Middle Ordovician Volgian horizon–Upper Ordovician Baksanian or Dolborian horizon of the Russian GSS). Based on this benchmark and lithological features of the section, we discuss the causes of wide variations in δ13С (‒7.2 to 1.6‰) and δ18О (16.9‒29.8‰) in the carbonates, as well as a possible correlation of carbon isotope excursions in the Vilyui section with the global carbon isotope events.
期刊介绍:
Lithology and Mineral Resources is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is given to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes. The major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on the continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal–sedimentary mineral resources. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
