Abstract

The U–Pb dating of zircons from two samples taken in the stratotype sections of the Middle Permian Gizhiga Formation in the Omolon Massif has been carried out for the first time. Weighted average ages of 266 ± 2 and 265 ± 3 Ma taking the error into account are consistent with the Capitanian age calculated previously by paleontological determination. The observed detrital zircon population has made it possible to identify a few source areas in the Omolon Basin. Pre-Permian zircons are related to erosion of basement deposits of the Omolon Massif and the Middle Paleozoic volcanic rocks of the Kedon Group, while the Permian zircon population is due to the tuff supply from the Okhotsk-Taigonos volcanic arc.
