ZIRCON ANATOMY FROM THE ROCKS ASSOCIATION OF THE OSTRIVSKY QUARRY (ROS-TIKYCH MEGABLOCK OF THE UKRAINIAN SHIELD). (English)

Granitoids play a key role in the geological structure of the Ros-Tikych megablock. Supercrustal rocks of the Ros- Tikych series have been preserved in the granitoids only in the form of isolated fragments such as elongated remains, small skialites and even smaller "melted" xenoliths. In particular, in the Ostrivsky quarry, located on the right bank of the Ros River east of Bila Tserkva, granitoids are found (even-grained, porphyry-like granites) among which, as a rule, small bodies of granodiorites, plagiogranites and amphibolites occur. In order to determine the source of the parent magmas of rocks the properties of zircon crystals and the isotopic composition (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio) of apatite were studied. An analysis of the zircon crystals of the crystalline rocks exposed at the Ostrivsky quarry allows us to propose that the and plagio- and difeldspar granites were formed from one protolith. This is because they contain similar virtually identical zircon relics as nucleus. In addition, none of the granitoids contain zircon crystals whose internal structure is similar to zircon crystals found in amphibolite. This suggests that the granitoids were not derived by melting of amphibolites. Most likely, amphibolites are relicts of the protolith that were not assimilated during granite formation. The occurrence of heterogeneous zircon crystals (relic zircon cores of the protolith) in the protolith of the various studied granitoids indicates that they formed from volcanic-sedimentary rocks. Apatites in plagiogranitoids and porphyry granite contain strontium of similar isotopic composition. Their ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotopic ratio is 0.70680 in apatite granodiorite and 0.70822 in granite. A high ratio of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.77940 was measured for apatite from monazite-bearing granite, thus indicating a different source for its parent magma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
