Abstract
The U–Pb (LA–ICP–MS) age of detrital zircons from the Upper Cambrian–Lower Ordovician terrigenous rocks of the Baidarata Allochthon, which is located in the northern part of the Polar Urals, is determined. The analysis of the youngest zircon population indicates a broad occurrence of the Uralides in this area rather than Pre-Uralides, as was considered previously. The Bedamel island-arc rocks (rather than Timan orogen) were probably the major provenance for the studied sequences. The results of statistical processing of the U–Pb ages of zircons from coeval rocks of Arctic regions suggest similar provenances for the Baidarata Allochthon and Novaya Zemlya and Severnaya Zemlya archipelagoes.
