Abstract—The results of study and comparison of geochemical characteristics of quartzite sandstones of the Upper Riphean Khobeyu and Lower Paleozoic Obeiz formations of the Circumpolar Urals are presented. It has been established that the composition of quartzite sandstone of both formations was formed mainly from recycled material of ancient metaterrigenous rocks, with the participation of destruction products of igneous rocks of felsic (Obeiz Formation) and basic (Khobeyu Formation) composition and weathering crust material. The accumulation of the Lower Paleozoic psammites was accompanied by a gradual change of clastic sources, with increasing contribution of granitoid clastics.
