Abstract

The formation time of 410.5 ± 1.1 Ma (zircon U/Pb SHRIMP) and the duration of rock crystallization (2–2.5 Ma) were determined for gabbro from the Nurali massif. The gabbro zircons showed a complicated polyphase structure. A new polygenous type of zonality including traces of primary growth and of the processes of crushing, dissolution, and substitution was discovered in the zircons. The formations of gabbro and ultramafites (lherzolites) of the massif are separated by a time break of 30–35 Ma determined by the genetic discontinuance.
