Abstract

The newest data (been obtained during the recent years, partially in the frames of IPY programs) over the Western Arctic regions and (to a lesser degree) over some other areas of Arctic are presented. They concern the internal structure Neoproterozoic complexes of some areas of the Western Arctic regions and obtaining of geochemical, isotopic-geochemical and isotopic-geochronological characteristics of detrital zircons from silicaclactic rocks from few Neoproterozoic units of the Timan and Polar Urals. Summary of the presented data and the newest various data (geochronological, petrological, biogeographical, etc.) from other high-latitude areas of Arctica allowed to consider Neoproterozoic – Early Paleozoic tectonic history of Arctica, particularly, a problem of existence of an ancient (Precambrian) continent Arctida/Hyperborea whose fragments are now distributed over the Arctic sector.

The new materials allowed us to reconsider the Neoproterozoic – Early Paleozoic stage of geodynamic scenario for Arctic. The key moment of the new reconstruction is a collision of two paleo-continents – Baltica (Precambrian skeleton of East-European Craton) and Arctida been occurred at the Neoproterozoic/Cambrian boundary. This new conception is named «ABC-conception» (Arctida-Baltica Collision). The new reconstruction of Arctida paleo-continent is strongly modified in comparison to the reconstruction of L.P.Zonenshain and his co-authors. In our interpretation, Arctida paleo-continent existed at least from Neoproterozoic up to the Baltica-Arctida collision and included Barentsia (Barents shelves and Timan-Pechora region) and Svalbard.
