Abstract

The Upper Proterozoic sequence in the southern part of the East Anabar Basin, as throughout the entire framing of the Anabar uplift, has a two-unit terrigenous-carbonate structure. The results of the U-Pb dating of detrital zircons show that there is a difference in stratigraphy of Riphean strata in the north and south of the Anabar Uplift. In the north, deposits of the entire sequence are regarded as Early Riphean; in the south, the thickness of these deposits is reduced to 70 m. The overlying stratum is regarded as Upper Riphean-Vendian. As the strata in the southern part of the East Anabar Basin strata are of younger (Late Riphean-Vendian) age, they cannot be assigned to the Mukun and Billyakh groups. The Riphean-Vendian deposits accumulated mainly through erosion of crystalline rocks of the Anabar Uplift. In the upper part of the sequence, the Vendian magmatic complexes located probably within the Taimyr Orogen played a significant role as provenance areas.
