Dating the termination of the Palaeoproterozoic Lomagundi-Jatuli carbon isotopic event in the North Transfennoscandian Greenstone Belt
Existing radio-isotopic age constraints indicate that the global Palaeoproterozoic Lomagundi-Jatuli large, positive carbonate carbon isotopic excursion, with δ13C values >+5‰, occurred between 2.2 and 2.06 Ga. In the North Transfennoscandian Greenstone Belt of the Kola Peninsula, NW Russia, n...

Existing radio-isotopic age constraints indicate that the global Palaeoproterozoic Lomagundi-Jatuli large, positive carbonate carbon isotopic excursion, with δ13C values >+5‰, occurred between 2.2 and 2.06 Ga. In the North Transfennoscandian Greenstone Belt of the Kola Peninsula, NW Russia, northern Norway and Finland, the Lomagundi-Jatuli Event is recorded in the carbonate rocks of the Umba and Kuetsjärvi Sedimentary Formations in the Imandra-Varzuga and Pechenga greenstone belts. In both areas, thick mafic volcanic units (Umba and Kuetsjärvi Volcanic Formations) overlie the carbon isotopic excursion-bearing sedimentary units. Overlying and younger sedimentary units contain carbonate rocks with δ13C values typically ranging between c. −1 and +3‰, signalling the termination of the Lomagundi-Jatuli excursion.Two new U–Pb ID-TIMS (isotope-dilution thermal ionisation mass spectrometry) zircon dates constrain this termination in both successions.
