U-Pb age of extrusive rocks in the Uxichan caldera, Sredinnyi Range, Kamchatka: Application of laser ablation in dating young zircons.

The article discusses the age of extrusive rocks found in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, and highlights the application of laser ablationin dating of young zircons. It informs that the application of tephra chronology and radiocarbon dating resulted in the study of the chronology of volcanism in the Holocene period. It also informs that pan sampling for zircons and their geochronologic studying can be used in solving various problems.
