Enlargement of the area of the Timpton Large Igneous Province (ca. 1.75 ga) of the Siberian craton
We present new geochronological data on dolerites from the Chaya dyke swarm of the Baikal inlier of the Siberian craton. The U‐Pb dating of baddeleyite from one dyke located at the SW end of the Chaya dyke swarm yielded an age of 1752±6 Ma, similar to ...

Thermobarometric calculations for mineral inclusions in diamonds provide a systematic comparison of PTXFO2 conditions for different cratons worldwide, using a database of 4440 mineral EPMA analyses. Beneath all cratons, the cold branch of the mantle geotherm (35-32 mWm−2) relates to the sub-Ca garnets and rarely omphacitic diamond inclusions,

LYSAN ALKALINE-ULTRABASIC COMPLEX (EASTERN SAYAN): AGE AND GEODYNAMIC CONSEQUENCES
This paper presents new ideas about the formational identity, as well as the first data on the age of formation of rocks within the Lysan intrusive complex located at junction of the Derbin block and the Sisim-Kazyr zone of the Central Asian folded belt.

Chemostratigraphy of Neoproterozoic carbonates: implications for 'blind dating' [PDF]
The delta C-13(carb) and Sr-87/Sr-86 secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of 'isotope stratigraphy' but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use.

Siberian craton - a fragment of a Paleoproterozoic supercontinent [PDF]
The sialic (volcanogenic) material of the terranes in 3the Siberian fragment of a Paleoproterozoic supercontinent separated from the mantle 3.5, 3.3, 3.0, and 2.5 billion years ago. The collision zones (sutures) between the terranes are dated by granitoids which melted from the crust of the terranes in two periods of time: 1.9 and 1.8 billion years ago.

Precambrian diamond crystals from the Siberian craton
Analysis of diamond grains from placers in the northeastern Siberian craton shows that some diamond varieties (round dodecahedra, varieties II and V-VII in the classification of Orlov) may originate from Precambrian sources. The Precambrian diamonds have different sedimentation histories.
