| Abstract: | The clarkes of concentrations (Kc) of a wide range of trace elements (Li, Be, B, Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Cd, In,
Sb, Cs, Ba, REE, Hf, Ta, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th, and U) were analyzed for fine-gained terrigenous rocks (mudstones, metapelites)
from the reference Riphean sections of the Uchur-Maya region and the Yenisei Range. It was established that the shales and
mudstones of the Uchur and Aimchan groups in the Riphean hypostratotype section are characterized by moderate (2.5 < Kc < 5) and intense (Kc > 5) geochemical specialization for Li, B, and Zn. At the same time, the similar rocks of the Lakhanda and Ui groups do not
exhibit any distinct geochemical specialization, although they are notably enriched in HREE. The metapelites from the basal
formations of the Riphean sedimentary successions in the Yenisei Range are distinctly specialized for B and slightly for Li,
Rb, Be, Nb, Ta, Th, Ge, and Cd. In addition, moderate specialization for Cu is characteristic of the metapelites from the
Korda and Lopatino formations; for Bi, Sb, Hg, and V, for their analogs from the Potoskui Formation; and, for Hg and Cs, for
the similar rocks from the Lopatino Formation. The metapelites of the Lower Riphean Korda Formation from the central zone
of the Yenisei Range have elevated contents of significantly more elements (Li, Be, Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Rb, Y, Zr,
Nb, Sb, Ag, In, Hf, Hg, and others) than their counterparts from its eastern near-platform part. The mudstones of the ore-bearing
(Pb, Zn) Gorevo Formation are characterized by elevated concentrations of several ore elements such as Pb, Cd, As, Sb, and
Bi. The elevated Kc values of the rare lithophile and of several ore elements in the metapelites of the Yenisei Range are determined by the high
geochemical differentiation of the Early Precambrian blocks constituting the western margin of the Siberian Craton, which
were eroded in the Riphean, and the syn-sedimentary riftogenic and intraplate magmatism. On the contrary, the fine-grained
and terrigenous rocks from the basal part of the Riphean section in the Uchur-Maya region are compositionally closer to the
immature Late Archean substrates or their Early Proterozoic analogs. |
