U-Pb (LA-ICP-MS) age of detrital zircons and the sources of terrigenous sediments of the Ipsit suite, Karagass series (Sayan segment of the Sayan-Baikal-Patom belt) by Z. L. Motova, T. V. Donskaya, D. P. Gladkochub, V. B. Khubanov

“…According to the classification by genetic types on the basis of the system of petrochemical modules, the rocks of the lower part of the Ipsa suite are of the petrogenic nature. The acidic igneous rocks are dominant in the source area, as evidenced by the presence of granitoid and quartzite fragments in the clastogenic component, as well as the set of accessory minerals typical of the igneous rocks of the acidic composition, and the distribution pattern of rare and trace elements. …”
