Abstract

Geochronological (LA–ICP–MS) U–Th–Pb studies of detrital zircon of the Late Cenozoic sand deposits on Ol’khon Island have been performed. It has been shown that their main source is represented by Early Paleozoic igneous and metamorphic complexes of the Ol’khon Terrane of the Central-Asian Mobile belt and Late Carboniferous–Early Permian granitoids of the Angara–Vitim batholite. Sands from the source were transported over a distance of no less than 100 km. It is supposed that it was effectuated by strong air flows, over the ice on the Lake Baikal in particular.
