Abstract

The oldest granitoids of the Kan–Chingiz Complex with quartz diorites, granodiorites, plagiogranites, and granites are dated for the first time in the Chingiz–Tarbagatai region of eastern Kazakhstan. The U‒Pb (ID-TIMS and SIMS) age of granites and plagiogranites is 509 ± 2 and 512 ± 3 Ma, which corresponds approximately to the Early–Middle Cambrian boundary. These data indicate the Early Cambrian age of volcanosedimentary sequences host granitoids. The peculiarities of the composition of granitoids of the Kan–Chingiz Complex point to their formation within an ensimatic island arc.
