Results

  • The features of volcanism of the Ural orogen were identified and its comparability and combined ophiolitic associations with modern and ancient ocean formations was shown.
  • Orogenic systems of different ages, including the newly identified Timan orogen were found to be integrated in the Timan-Ural lithosphere segment as a result of lithospheric plates movements.
  • The main age frames of orogen forming cycles and metamorphic processes were determined.
  • The main features of plate-tectonic metallogeny as a new research area in theoretical metallogeny were outlined. The possibility of expanding mineral resources at the expense of non-traditional and new sources was shown.


The scheme of tectonic and geodynamic elements of Timan-Ural segment of Eurasia


Polygenic-polychronic «zirconology» of the Urals: amphibole miaskites of Ilmenogorsky array (a-d, i), garnet-pyroxene rocks of Maskyutovsky complex (e-h, k). Zircon CL-images (a, c, e, g) and BSE-images (b, d, f, h); isotope U-Pb-data (SHRIMP, i, k)
