Age of lower Paleozoic rocks composing erosional outliers on Manpupuner Ridge (Northern Urals)

Abstract

The article presents the first U-Pb data on the age of the rocks composing scenic erosional outliers located on the Manpupuner Ridge in the Northern Urals. Based on the analysis of the ages of detrital zircons micaceous quartzites exposed on the Manpupuner Ridge are thought to belong to Lower Ordovician Telpos Formation. Sources of clastic material are supposed.
