Age of zircons from Sokolovsky Massif (West Ciscaucasia)
granodiorites according to U-Pb (SHRIMP II) dating
Granitoids, penetrated by wells within the West Ciscaucasia, are attributed to the Middle Carboniferous Malkin complex. Based on the results of new petrochemical and isotopic-geochronological studies, the authors identified the Early Triassic Nevinnomyssky granite-granodiorite plutonic complex in it.
