Abstract
The petrogeochemical and geochronological correlations were carried out between boudined fragments of tonalitic rocks previously dated at Neoarchean, quartzite sandstones, and host amphibolites in the Yenisei Regional Shear Zone of the Yenisei Ridge in order to solve the problem of age of the Transangarian Yenisei Ridge basement. Detrital zircons in metasandstones can be derived from the Neoarchean–Paleoproterozoic crystalline rocks of the Angara–Kan block. Interpretation of available data does not confirm the inferred presence of the Early Precambrian basement of the Siberian Craton beneath the Transangarian Yenisei Ridge.
