Isotopic (Sm–Nd, Pb–Pb, and δ³⁴S) and Geochemical Characteristics of the Metasedimentary Rocks of the Baikal–Patom Belt (Northern Transbaikalia) and Evolution of the Sedimentary Basin in the Neoproterozoic

Abstract

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. This paper reports the results of a detailed isotopic (Sm–Nd, Pb–Pb, and δ34S) and geochemical studies of Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks from the Patom and Bodaibo domains of the Baikal–Patom belt (northern Transbaikalia). It was shown that the metasedimentary rocks of these domains are strongly variable in their geochemical and isotope geochemical characteristics. Regular variations in these characteristics were observed, and their correlation with the main stages of the evolution of the sedimentary paleobasin in the Neoproterozoic was established.
