The first results of U-Pb LA-SF-ICP-MS-dating of detrital zircons from terrigenous deposits of the Miniseishor suite of the Nyarovei series of the Harbei anticlinorium of the Polar Urals are presented. The series has a presumably Middle Riphean age and lies at the base of the section of the Polar Ural Upper Precambrian. The data obtained give grounds to limit the lower age interval for the formation of sediments of the Minisejshor suite abroad 660 million years ago. Allotment the Nyarovei series as a Middle Riphean straton is erroneous. Formation of the whole cut the Nyarovei series occurred in a relatively narrow age range at the end of the late Riphean. The dominant role in the formation of deposits of the entire series belonged to the products of erosion close arrays of deeply metamorphosed rocks.
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.
