Abstract
Based on the presented radiological data, it is shown that the dynamotherma l metamorphism in mylonite-gneiss domes in Transbaikalia is of Early Cretac eous age. We emphasize that Sinitsa's ideas of the formation of these objec ts and the concept of metamorphite complexes which we follow differ in inte rpretation of the mechanism of exposure of metamorphic rocks rather than th e processes giving rise to the domes. According to Sinitsa, only roof denud ation with some "rise" of domes took place. But we suppose that metamorphic cores in the lying wings of gentle slopes exposed under extension in the E arly Cretaceous.
