The latest Triassic – earliest Jurassic tectonic event significantly overprinted the Northern and Central Taimyr domains and original unaltered late Paleozoic AFT ages are identified only locally. New completely reset AFT cooling ages group at 195-180 Ma, in reasonable agreement with structural data. Older Neoproterozoic and late Paleozoic Ar-Ar ages of metamorphic muscovite are retained, demonstrating that the dated rocks were not heated above 300 °C. An Early Cretaceous tectonic event is inferred from both the structural study and ca. 115–125 Ma AFT cooling ages, and is most widespread in the Southern Taimyr Domain, Olenek Fold Zone and adjoining parts of the Yenisey-Khatanga Depression, modifying older geological structures. A younger Late Cretaceous tectonic event at ca. 100-60 Ma is also inferred from AFT cooling ages, but its distribution is poorly constrained.
