Abstract

The formation of granitoids of increased basicity and rocks of basitic composition on the Eastern slope of the Urals in the early Permian requires a reliable justification by geochronological data. U-Pb and Lu–Hf isotope systems in zircons separated from fine-grained granite of the Nepluyevsky pluton as well as Hf–Nd systematics of the rock were studied using LA-ICP-MS. Zircon LA-ICP-MS dating and the analysis of its Lu–Hf isotope system were performed using two mass spectrometers - quadrupole NexION 300S and multi-collector Neptune Plus and NWR 213 laser ablation system. The results of U-Pb dating for similar areas of NP-47 zircon grains by LA-ICP-MS and SHRIMP techniques are in satisfactory agreement. A difference in the age of zircons of different morphotypes was established: for the first type with a pronounced rhythmic zonation, a concordant U-Pb age was 360 ± 2 Ma (1σ, n = 19, SHRIMP- II) and 368 ± 6 Ma (1σ, n = 7, LA-ICP-MS); for the second type (“amoeboid-shaped”  cores with “spotted” zoning), the concordant age was 430 ± 9 Ma (1σ, n = 1, SHRIMP-II). The comparison of the resulting isotopic Sm–Nd and Lu–Hf data suggests the xenogeneic, non-magmatic nature of the zircons contained in the rock, for which an older Silurian zircon of the second type could serve as a seed for growth. The age of the latter significantly exceeds the age of the Early Carboniferous rocks of the main phases of the pluton, broken by fine-grained granite.
