Abstract

The paper presents results of petrographic, geochemical, mineralogical, and isotope-geochronological studies of metagabbro-dolerites of the central part of the Kara Depression, located in the middle course of the Sopcha-Yu River in the Yugorsky Peninsula, Nenets Autonomous District, Russia. Two varieties of metagabbro-dolerites are distinguished: quartz-bearing and quartz-free. The influence of an impact event on rock-forming and accessory minerals is considered. It is proved that the impact event has not modified the isotope system of zircon in the metagabbro-dolerites. The U–Pb (LA-ICP-MS) isotope–geochronological dating of the zircons gives an age of the magmatic minerals within the range of 365.3 to 390.8 Ma, which seems to correspond to the age of the massif. The weighted mean age is 375.5 ± 2.6 Ma and likely corresponds to the age of the Hengur complex.
