This study comprises a comprehensive integrated provenance study based on samples collected from Precambrian clastic rocks of the Chetlassky Kamen and Volsko-Vymskaya Ridge.

Metasandstone samples within the succession are arkose, sublitharenite and litharenite. The distributions of detrital zircon U-Pb ages from the studied metasedimentary rocks are very comparable, yielding approximately 50% Mesoproterozoic ages within the ranges 1470 – 1550 and 1170 – 1370 Ma, 45% Paleoproterozoic ages and 5% Archean ages, with predominant populations grouping at 2500–2700 and 1800–1900 Ma.

Analysis of detrital rutile suggests the widespread distribution of latest Mesoproterozoic – earliest Neoproterozoic metamorphism within the provenance area. A comparison of detrital zircon age distributions from the coeval strata of Baltica and Laurentia also revealed a striking similarity.
