Abstract
The Uyandina–Yasachnaya volcanoplutonic belt (UYVB) is located in Northeast Asia. As one of the largest volcanic belts in the region, it extends for 900 km from the headwaters of the Kolyma River in the northwesterly direction. The Late Jurassic UYVB overlaps the folds of the Cherskii collision belt. The UYVB rocks are characterized by highly variable facies indicating the heterogeneous nature of the belt. The UYVB has been studied at the cross section of the Indigirka River. This paper reports the first data on U–Pb dating of zircons and the geochemical features of rocks. The concordant U–Pb age of volcanic rocks is 150 ± 2–152 ± 2 Ma (Kimmeridgian–Volgian of the Late Jurassic). It is concluded that the formation conditions of the volcanic rocks change upward through the section, from those typical of mature island arcs to those more typical of active continental margins.
