Abstract: Results of a study of U-Pb and Hf isotope systematics and trace element concentrations in five zircon crystals separated from the Devonian Petrivske kimberlite are reported in the paper. Four zircons have yielded Paleoproterozoic and Archean ages, while one zircon grain gave a Devonian age of 383.6±4.4 Ma (weighted mean 206Pb/238U age). The Precambrian zircons have been derived from terrigenous rocks of the Mykolaivka Suite that is cut by kimberlite, or directly from the Precambrian rock complexes that constitute continental crust in the East Azov. The Devonian zircon crystal has the U-Pb age that corresponds to the age of kimberlite emplacement. It is 14 m.y. younger than zircon megacrysts found in the Novolaspa kimberlite pipe in the same area. In addition, Petrivske zircon is richer in trace elements than its counterparts from the Novolaspa pipe. Petrivske and Novolaspa zircons crystallized from two different proto-kimberlite melts, whereas the process of kimberlite formation was very complex and possibly included several episodes of formation of proto-kimberlite melts, separated by extended (over 10 M.y.) periods of time.

Keywords: kimberlite, zircon, Ukrainian Shield, U-Pb age, Hf isotopes, trace elements.
