...V.G. Belichenko; N.K. Geletii; I.G. Barash The term Barguzin microcontinent is well-known in the geological literature and is widely used in paleogeodynamic reconstructions of the Paleoasian ocean, though the problem of its outlining is still debatable. Different authors draw the boundaries...

...N.L. Dobretsov; M.M. Buslov Abstract In the Late Cambrian-Ordovician, Gondwana-derived microcontinents such as Kokchetav, Altai-Mongolian, Tuva-Mongolian, and Barguzin, as well as the Kazakhstan-Tuva-Mongolian island arc or a system of island arcs were involved in intense accretion-collision...

... terrane of western Pribaikalia, which have received new isotope and chemical constraints in the paper by Gladkochub et al., are found out to be fragments of the Late Precambrian active continental margin of the Barguzin microcontinent (‘island arc–backarc basin’ system) rifted off the Siberian craton...

... ( Belichenko et al., 2006 ) likely corresponding to a collision-accretionary event. The Ikat zone in our division includes the Barguzin metamorphic terrane ( Fig. 5 ). The terrane was historically interpreted as the Barguzin microcontinent composed of a low-grade Cambrian (according to faunal evidence...

... terranes [ 6 , 8 ]. They were mostly destroyed by the emplacement of the Late Paleozoic Angara-Vitim batholith. Some geologists assign an Early Precambrian age to the Gargan, Khoigot, Talala, and other complexes and, correspondingly, interpret them as part of the Barguzin microcontinent [ 2 , 16...

... the Siberian Craton and the Baikalian island-arc complexes and the Barguzin microcontinent was most likely caused by formation of the Vendian-Cambrian Dzhida-Vitim island arc at the rear of the latter [ 19 ]. Age and nature of this event is recorded in the eclogites of the Muya collage dated as 653±21 Ma by Sm...
