Аннотация: The Early Cretaceous topographic evolution of Transbaikalia was largely governed by the tectonic evolution of the Mongol-Okhotsk orogen. The collapse of the Mongol-Okhotsk orogen triggered the formation of metamorphic core complexes and associated extensional basins, widespread throughout Transbaikalia, North Mongolia, and North China. Numerous lithofacies and biostrati- graphic studies have been carried out from the sedimentary deposits of the Transbaikalia basins. However, the absence of absolute ages for the sedimentary series, as well as sediment source-to- sink analysis do not allow to accurately characterize the regional topographic evolution. We focused our study on the Gusinoozersk Basin of Western Transbaikalia, where extensive sedimen- tary sections of Lower Cretaceous deposits have been preserved. We provide new U/Pb (LA-ICP- MS) data on detrital zircons from sedimentary series and 40Ar/39Ar data on intruding rocks. We review the paleontological data to clarify the age of the paleogeographic events associated with the collapse of the Mongol-Okhotsk orogen, as well as to correct the age of faunal complexes in Western Transbaikalia. Our geochronological results show that the formation of the Cretaceous basins of Transbaikalia began around 136–130 Ma, accompanying the main episode of extension associated with the exhumation of the metamorphic core complexes. The lowest coarse-clastic formation characterizes the rapid subsidence and the predominance of proximal sediment sources. Distal provinces also made a contribution to sedimentation indicating the rise of a positive topography characterizing the exhumation of the metamorphic core complexes. Overlying fine- grained formations indicate a significant smoothing of the topography, suggesting that from middle Aptian, Western Transbaikalia developed in a relatively calm tectonic regime. We also show that the basins of Transbaikalia were formed both in conjunction with the exhumation of metamorphic cores complexes and reactivated structural sutures. Revised data on dinosaur fauna and palynology, together with the dating of host deposits, provide insights on the Early Cretaceous paleoenvironmental evolution.
