Abstract
—Petrographic and geochemical studies of igneous and volcaniclastic rocks of the middle part of the Pronchishchev Ridge and the Terpei lowland provided new data on their composition and structure. The subdivision of the Permian–Lower Triassic strata enclosing igneous and volcaniclastic bodies has been clarified by lithological/stratigraphic methods. The Lower Triassic Ulakhan-Yuryakh, Chekanovsky, Ystanakh, and Pastakh formations have been traced for the first time in the ridge area. It is shown that the studied dolerite body and adjacent breccias in the field of middle–upper Permian rocks are part of the volcanic pipe. The tuffite sandy gritstones in the field of Lower Triassic rocks are parts of an eroded tephra ring around this diatreme. The localization of tuffite bodies in the area of the Ystanakh Formation makes it possible to date the pipe at the beginning of the late Olenekian. The obtained 40Ar/39Ar dates for the dolerites of the volcanic pipe and one of the dikes of the Pronchishchev dike belt indicate the repeated tectonomagmatic activity in the studied area in the Triassic.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original reports of theoretical and methodological nature in the fields of geology, geophysics, and geochemistry, which contain data on composition and structure of the Earth''s crust and mantle, describes processes of formation and general regularities of commercial mineral occurrences, investigations on development and application of geological-geophysical methods for their revealing. As to works of regional nature, accelerated publication are available for original papers on a variety of problems of comparative geology taking into account specific character of Siberia, adjacent Asian countries and water areas. The journal will also publish reviews, critical articles, chronicle of the most important scientific events, and advertisements.
