For the first time, the absolute age of volcanic rocks of the Brusilovka volcanic depression has been obtained by employing the LA-ICP-MS-based U-Pb method. The results (~61–56 Ma) are consistent with the timespan of the Paleocene magmatic stage manifested in the Sikhote-Alin and the patterns of their structural localization and spatiotemporal distribution are consistent with left-lateral displacements along the Vostochny and Pribrezhny faults. The nature and characteristics of occurrence of early Paleogene igneous rocks both in the frontal and rear continental marginal parts of the southern Sikhote-Alin can serve as a fundamental basis for paleogeodynamic reconstructions and subsequent metallogenic analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
