The first data on the time of the intrusion of plagiogranite dikes in the ultrabasic rocks of the Bazhenovskiy ophiolite complex (Middle Urals) are obtained. Accessory monazite is found in the plagio-granites and its microprobe study of the chemical composition is performed. The age is determined by the chemical Th-U-Pb dating method. The monazite age is from 419 to 447 Ma, a weighted average of 429 ± 29 Ma and isochrone of 428 ± 33 Ma (MSWD = 0,48). The formation of plagiogranite dikes occurred in the early Silurian period and is associated with the formation of the Reftinskiy gabbro-granite massif.
