Abstract: | Based on the LA-ICP-MS data, detrital zircons from the tillite-type conglomerates of the Tanin Formation (Serebryanka Group)
on the western slope of the Central Urals include approximately equal proportions of crystals with Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic
U-Pb ages. Therefore, we can assume that crystalline rocks of the basement beneath the eastern part of the East European Craton
served as a provenance for aluminosilicate clastics in the initial Serebryanka period. Detrital zircons from sandstones of
the Kernos Formation have the Meso-Neoarchean (∼15%), Paleoproterozoic (∼60%), and Mesoproterozoic (∼26%) age. Comparison
of the obtained data with the results of the study of detrital zircons from Riphean and Vendian sandstones of the Southern
Urals shows that the Riphean and Lower Vendian rocks are mainly represented by erosional products of Middle and Upper Paleoproterozoic
crystalline rocks that constitute the basement of the East European Craton. In addition, a notable role belonged to older
(Lower Proterozoic, Neoarchean and Mesoarchean) rock associations during the formation of the Serebryanka Group. The terminal
Serebryanka time (Kernos Age) differed from its initial stage (Tanin Age) by the appearance of Mesoproterozoic complexes in
provenances. According to available data, these complexes played an insignificant role in the formation of Riphean-Vendian
rocks in the neighboring South Uralian segment. This implies a spatiotemporal diversity of clastic material sources for Upper
Precambrian rocks in the western megazone of the Southern and Central Urals. |
