Аннотация: The paper presents petrographic, geochemical, and new U-Pb zircon (LA-ICP-MS) geochronological data on the Upper Lena Fm. sediments which make part of the Cambrian sedimentary cover of the Siberian craton. The composition of lithic fragments in these clastic sediments, including mafic and felsic volcanics and granitoids, along with the correlation of major element ratios and the values of trace-element ratios point to predominant igneous (mainly felsic) rocks in the provenance. The U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from the sampled Upper Lena Fm. sandstones are mostly Early Paleozoic (~500 Ma), with very few Archean-Paleoproterozoic determinations and quite many Neoproterozoic zircons. Ediacaran and Earliest Cambrian clastic sediments bearing Early Pre- cambrian and Neoproterozoic detrital zircons, as well as Neoproterozoic and Early Paleozoic complexes of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, could provide material for the Upper Lena clastic deposition. The geochronological evidence shows that the Upper Lena Fm. sandstones were deposited over vast territories of the southern Siberian craton in the Late Cambrian, in a single sedimentary basin, and originated from the same provenance. The Upper Lena deposition event in the Late Cambrian, immediately before the Ordovician period, makes a key milestone in the geological history of Siberia: the end of a large-scale Early Cambrian transgression and the beginning of gradual uplift of the southern craton margin, at least till the Carboniferous, which was associated with the formation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, a major tectonic unit of Asia.
