Abstract: In the Middle Bouh region in the western part of the Ukrainian Shield, greenish-grey and pink-grey gneissic granite and pink aplite-pegmatoid granites are widespread. A band of such formations is also traced in the outcrops of the Dokhna River, where they have a stratified position, developed after the primary rocks, forming either gneisses or gneissic granite. These rocks are distinctly banded, with a small amount of dark-coloured minerals (clino- and orthopyroxenes), oversaturated in SiO2 (75—76%), quartz (up to 50%), and rich in orthoclase. Chemically, all gneissic granites (grey and pink) are rich in iron leucogranites (or subalkaline alaskites), that is, magmatic leucocratic two-feldspar rocks with a Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio of 0.87—0.90. A study of the granite-gneisses of the Dokhna River revealed their peculiarity: on one hand, enrichment in REE, Nb, Zr, zircon, and orthite, making them similar to monzonite-type rocks. On the Rb — (Y+Nb) diagram, leucogranites fall into the field of island-arc granitoids at the boundary with intraplate granites, alongside charnockitoids of the Novoukrainka Complex. The age of zircons is 2056±21 Ma. On the other hand, the rocks of the Dokhna River are enriched in magnetite and ilmenite, possibly due to their location in the sublatitudinal zone of the Pavlivka magnetic anomalies. The isotopic composition of hafnium in zircons from granite-gneisses (εHf = –10.6 to –12) suggests that these rocks formed through remelting of a Mesoarchean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite protolith.
Keywords: Dokhna River outcrop, gneisses and gneissic granite, zircon, monzonite, leucogranite, REE, Paleoproterozoic, granulite metamorphism.
