The observed small δ13C and δ18O difference between the Kochumdek marbles and their protoliths (Δδ13C ≤ 1.5‰ and Δδ18O ≤ 2.0‰) is consistent with moderate high-temperature metamorphic decarbonation of the protolith (0.1–0.2) and with almost absent metasomatic alteration in the aureole. Significant 18O depletion was inferred only for vein scapolite (δ18O from +17.0 to +17.3‰ V-SMOW) and calcite from recrystallized limestone layers (δ18O from +18.9 to +20.6‰), which is evidence for limited infiltration of magmatic aqueous fluids from the cooling sill into the host sediments. The C and O isotope compositions of (CO3)-bearing spurrite and tilleyite show lower 18O depletion and insignificant 13C depletion relative to calcite, especially in highest-temperature merwinite marble (Δδ18OSpu–Cal = +3.3‰; Δδ13CSpu–Cal = –0.8‰). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) provided constraints on the relative percentages of H2O and CO2 in the fluid at highest-temperature spurrite-merwinite metamorphism.

It is concluded that the magmatic fluid phase that was in equilibrium with quartz was characterized by a predominantly H2O–CO2–H2S composition and a reduced state. This explains the appearance of sulfides at the magmatic stage of crystallization of calcite–quartz carbonatitoids of the Murun massif.

A Vendian composite section of the Siberian Platform, which is a succession of regional to sub-global scale geological bodies reflecting particular states or unidirectional transformations determined by episodic expansion of relatively oxygen-rich environments onto the shelf and alternating with large-scale oceanic anoxia and euxinia events is proposed as a reference for constructing the stage subdivision of the Vendian. The redox instability had to be accompanied by changes in nutrient availability and could not but affect the course of macroevolution and macroecology. The geological record of the Vendian of the Siberian Platform is also marked by episodic increase in alkalinity of the World Ocean. At least five such alkalinity events could be provisionally identified in the composite section of the Vendian of the Siberian Platform. A hypothesis is proposed suggesting that the alkalinity events could control the appearance and disappearance in the geological record of a distinctive suite of sedimentary structures in carbonates, the discrete nature of early diagenetic cementation of aluminosilicoclastic sediments, and fossilization of soft-bodied organisms in the Vendian.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":"248 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135566383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the Ordovician system of the Siberian Platform and Northeastern Russia, certain changes in stratigraphic charts are proposed, nomenclative issues and different variants of correlations of regional horizons with the General Stratigraphic Scale (GSS) of Russia are considered. A geochemical analysis of Bajocian and Bathonian belemnite rostra of Arctic Siberia was carried out and for the first time a comprehensive C, O, and Sr isotope characterization of the sections was obtained, making it possible to propose a comparison of the studied sections with the European standard and to develop paleogeographic models. Comprehensive studies of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous series of the Anabar Bay deposits (Laptev Sea) led to an improved biostratigraphic division for this reference section and to the identification of the levels for interregional and global correlation. The magnetostratigraphic division of the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary interval and its comparison with the Tethyan regions are discussed. Taking into account biostratigraphic data, the δ13Corg variation curve can also serve as a correlation tool. The clinoform structure of Upper Jurassic strata was revealed in the northwest of the Anabar–Khatanga depression, based on the interpretation of seismic profiles calibrated against studied sections. The formation of this complex allows us to consider this stage as the initiation of the Verkhoyan orogeny in this folded area. Analysis of variations in the thickness of sediments allows us to deduce that intense tectonic-sedimentary processes took place during the Late Jurassic epoch, along with subsidence of the bed of the sedimentary basin. Analysis of a specific assemblage of lacustrine fossils from the reference section of the upper part of the Lower Cretaceous series of Transbaikalia and of published data showed that this fossil assemblage was widespread in East Asia. Biofacies analysis made it possible to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of this time.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":"247 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135566384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
