Abstract

A new model of the tectonic evolution of the Losevo Suture Zone is advanced based on the composition of the rocks occurring therein, the U/Pb age of the Voronezh Formation, and the specified age of collision. The model comprises the destruction of the Sarmatia continent; the formation of active continental margins of the West Pacific and Andean types, replacing one another en echelon from north to south; and the collision of Sarmatia and Volgo-Uralia with a distinctly expressed late orogenic stage marked by deposition of the Voronezh Formation crowned by the Baigora volcanic-plutonic structure.
