Abstract

This study uses Sr isotope chemostratigraphy to place constraints on the depositional age of carbonate rocks from the Tuva-Mongolian microcontinent. The age of carbonate rocks of the Irkut Formation (87Sr/86Sr initial ratio equal to 0.70480–0.70485) is determined to be older than 1250 Ma, whereas carbonates of the Zabit (0.70706–0.70727 and 0.70828–0.70848) and Agarin Gol (0.70725–0.70743) formations were deposited in the interval 630–560 Ma.
