Abstract
Results of U-Pb (SHRIMP-II) and Rb-Sr dating of sillimanite schists in southwestern Transbaikalia are presented, which testify to high-temperature metamorphism in the Late Mesozoic. The metamorphism might have been related to the formation of metamorphic cores or tectonoplutonic activity accompanied by the formation of rift structures in Transbaikalia and Mongolia.
