Abstract

It is shown that the Riphean sediments of the Bashkir and Isherim anticlinoria of the Ural mobile belt were formed in different settings. Sediments of the Bashkir Anticlinorium are autochthonous and were formed in the eastern (in present-day coordinates) Baltica from proximal siliciclastics, whereas the complexes of the Isherim Anticlinorium did not belong to it. Geochemical features of the Middle and lower Upper Riphean metapelites of the Isherim Anticlinorium and U–Pb isotope ages of detrital zircons from sandstones suggest that their provenances were the northern and northwestern parts of Baltica. In the Late Riphean (?)–Vendian, the Isherim block migrated along the Timan margin of Baltica into the present-day position.
