Evolution of the Late Mesozoic Magmatism of the Omulevka Terrane of the North Part of the Verkhoyansk–Kolyma Orogenic Region

This article presents the results of a study of Late Mesozoic intrusive formations of the Omulevka terrane of the Verkhoyansk–Kolyma orogenic region. The research area covers the Selennyakh block of the Omulevka terrane and the territory adjacent to the south. The compositions of rock-forming, acces...
