The aim of this work is to determine the provenance for the Upper Visean Solnechnay formation (The Southern Urals) using the U-Pb dating of detrital zircons. 138 zircon grains with discordance range of ± 10% were selected for the analysis. The vast majority of the zircons yielded the Ordovician and Cambrian ages. The main peak corresponds to the beginning of the Ordovician period (circa 480 Ma), and the secondary peaks correspond to the beginning of the Late Ordovician, the middle Cambrian, and the early Cambrian. The clastic material was derived from the East Ural megazone exclusively.
