—We present new data on the geology, geochronology, and geochemistry of volcanic complexes of the Uda–Murgal and Okhotsk–Chukotka belts that expose on the left bank of the Anadyr’ River in its middle course. The structural relationships between the stratons, supplemented by the U–Pb and 40Ar/39Ar dates of volcanics, indicate at least three compression events at this segment of the Pacific margin during the Cretaceous: pre-Aptian, early Albian, and late Turonian. The complexes of the Uda–Murgal and Okhotsk–Chukotka belts are separated by an early Albian unconformity, but the other two unconformities are also well pronounced. The studied segment of the Uda–Murgal belt evolved in the ensialic island arc setting till the Barremian. In the Aptian, after the accretion of the island arc to the continent, volcanism reactivated on the Andean-type margin. The main geochemical difference between the Uda–Murgal and Okhotsk– Chukotka belts is the different volume portions of silicic rocks. The less significant difference in the contents of trace elements indicates a change in the composition of the mantle protolith. The complexes of the Okhotsk–Chukotka belt show signs of geochemical zoning, both longitudinal and transverse relative to the strike of the continent–ocean boundary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
