Age and crystallization temperature, as well as chemical composition of rutile from diamondiferous conglomerates and sandstones of the Palaeoproterozoic Bilokorovychi basin, are defined. Age of these terrigenous sediments is defined between 1800 and 1960 Ma. According to their chemical composition, rutiles belong to two groups, metapelitic and metamafitic, whereas according to the crystallization temperatures the 550–610 and 660–760 ºC groups can be defined. Rutiles derived from eclogitised mafic rocks belong exclusively to the first group whereas rutiles derived from metamorphosed ultramafic rocks fall predominantly into the second group; rutiles derived from metapelites fall into both groups. Ages of the studied rutiles vary from the Late Archaean (2650 Ma) to the Palaeoproterozoic (c. 1800 Ma); most of them are Palaeoproterozoic in age (2250–2060 Ma).

Keywords: rutile, geochronology, terrigenous sedimentary rocks, Palaeoproterozoic, the Ukrainian Shield.
