The Age of Ultramafic Rocks of the Main Ural Fault

The Age of Ultramafic Rocks of the Main Ural Fault

The results of U–Pb zircon age dating of ultramafic massifs occurring as a chain along the Main Ural Fault zone (MUF) are given. Three groups of ages were obtained (Ma): 2500−2800, 600−2100, and 430−440. The first age group represents the time of origin of the ultramafic rocks in the Earth’s mantle....

Zusammenfassung:The results of U–Pb zircon age dating of ultramafic massifs occurring as a chain along the Main Ural Fault zone (MUF) are given. Three groups of ages were obtained (Ma): 2500−2800, 600−2100, and 430−440. The first age group represents the time of origin of the ultramafic rocks in the Earth’s mantle. The second age group records the time of metamorphism of these rocks prior to intrusion into the host rocks. The third age group determines the time of the intrusion of ultramafic magma into the host rocks. It was established that the intrusion of ultramafic magma along the entire length of the Ural ultramafic belt occurred in the age range of 430−440 Ma.
