Abstract
The age of wollastonite skarns from the Andreevskoe deposit (Slyudyanka crystalline complex, southern Baikal region) has been determined by the Sm-Nd method. A Sm-Nd isochron was constructed by five points: garnet, clinopyroxene, wollastonite, K-feldspar, and bulk rock ( T = 419  19 Ma, MSWD = 1.8,  Nd = -6.5). Formation of wollastonite skarns marks the final stage of orogeny and rise of the complex to a hypabyssal level. |
