Late Ordovician granitoids of Northern Kazakhstan: U-Pb age and tectonic setting

A study investigated UPb zircon dating of the granites of the Zerenda and Krykkuduk complexes in northern Kazakhstan. Data found the prevailing rock type of the Zerenda Complex is granite, while the Krykkuduk Complex shows a more diverse composition, varying from diorites and tonalites to granodiori...
