Geologicheskii Vestnik

The article provides new data on igneous rocks developed in the territory of the projected “Toratau” geopark. A detailed description of the petrographic composition and petrochemistry of rocks included into the Inzer gabbro-dolerite and Avashlya melanocratic syenites – potassium trachybasalt complexes is given. The issues of the genesis of rocks and the age of their formation are considered.

Southern Urals, Alatau Range, gabbro-dolerites, alkaline gabbroids, olivine trachybasalts, eruptive breccias
