Detrital zircon ages of Cambrian and Devonian sandstones from Estonia, central Baltica: a possible link to Avalonia during the Late Neoproterozoic

Listed in DataCite

Detrital zircon U–Pb ages of Lower Cambrian and Middle Devonian have been determined for sandstone in Estonia through LA-ICP-MS (Nu instruments, Wrexham, UK).

Description

Both sandstones have a similar zircon age spectrum with distinct age clusters that reflect the basement geology of Baltica, i.e. 2800–2700 Ma (Kola–Karelia), 1900–1700 Ma (Svecofennian), 1600–1500 Ma (Rapakivi) and 1200–1000 Ma (Sveconorwegian). Noteworthy is a cluster at 750–550 Ma, because rocks of such age are absent within the core of Baltica.

The present results suggest a possible link between Baltica and Avalonia/Cadomia during the Late Neoproterozoic.
