Abstract

This article presents the results of major, trace, and rare-earth element study of the Permian terrigenous rocks of the southern part of the Omolon Massif. The lithochemical studies showed that sediments were accumulated in a warm climate with episodes of some cooling. The Omolon Basin had a normal salinity, with alternating oxic–anoxic environments. The interpretation of the obtained data indicates that the deposits accumulated in the basin are associated with the marginal continental island arc (Okhotsk–Taigonos volcanic arc). Probable sources were basic and intermediate arc volcanics, as well as acid igneous rocks (volcanics of the Kedon Group) and metamorphic complexes of the basement of the Omolon Massif.
