Abstract: We conducted a geochronological and petrological study of felsic igneous rocks associated with the formation of the Soroky and Berestova greenstone structures in the Azov Domain of the Ukrainian Shield. According to U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating, granitoid intrusions in the Soroky and Berestova greenstone structures formed at 3003±31 Ma and 2931±84 Ma, respectively. In contrast, trondhjemite found as fragments in the tectonic zone was dated at 3224±37 Ma. These ages define the interval of greenstone belt formation in the Azov Domain, spanning from 3220 to 3000 Ma. Geochemical data indicate that metarhyolites, which form the greenstone structures, along with tonalites and granodiorites that intrude them, resulted from the partial melting of juvenile crustal rocks, characterized by short crustal residence times. Trondhjemite found in the tectonic zone was generated by melting of a protolith with an extended crustal residence time. The obtained data indicate a significant role of the melting of older continental crust in the origin of greenstone belts in the Azov Domain of the Ukrainian Shield.
Keywords: Azov Domain, Soroky and Berestova greenstone structures, metarhyolites, tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite association, zircon, U-Pb LA-ICP-MS, Hf isotopes.
