Abstract
Geochemical and U-Pb geochronological studies have shown that the alkali syenites of the China massif have an age of 311.4 ± 1.8 Ma and potassic specialization in contrast to most massifs of the Vitim alkaline-magmatism zone. The rocks are similar in geochemistry to the nepheline syenites of the Synnyr massif, dated at 289.5 ± 3.5 Ma. The alkali syenites of the China massif formed, most likely, from crustal protoliths.
