Abstract
Detrital zircon provenance studies of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks in Wedel Jarlsberg Land and Sørkapp Land, Svalbard’s Southwestern Caledonian Basement Province, were conducted to evaluate local stratigraphic correlations and the role of long-distance strike-slip displacements in assembling the basement of the Arctic Caledonides. The detrital zircon U-Pb age spectra of the late Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic metasediments revealed mainly Mesoproterozoic to Paleoproterozoic age signatures characteristic for a Grenville–Sveconorwegian orogen provenance. These results confirmed a stratigraphic correlation between basement units of southern Sørkapp Land and the Isbjørnhamna Group of Wedel Jarlsberg Land and suggest relocation of the tectonic boundary between the Eimfjellet Complex and the Isbjørnhamna Group above the Eimfjellbreane Formation. Moreover, the results support the Vimsodden Kosibapasset Shear Zone (VKZ) as a major tectonic boundary and highlight the inhomogeneity in the Southwestern Caledonian Basement Province. The detrital zircon age signatures south of the VKZ bear similarities with coeval metasediments of the Northwestern Caledonian Basement Province of Svalbard and other localities in the Greenland and Scandinavian Caledonides. In contrast, the detrital zircon age spectra north of the VKZ are comparable with the high Arctic Neoproterozoic sediments of Baltican affinity. In conjunction with previous studies, the results suggest that the basement units may continue across the traditional boundaries of the Svalbard’s Caledonian basement provinces.
