Reviewer 2 Report
I enjoyed reading the manuscript; however, there are many things that can be improved:
There are parts that are still in Russian All the average values need to have a standard deviation Concordia diagram needs to be fixed There are numerous places missing referencing. This can be a major issue as this might be considered as plagiarism by the journal The overall writing style of the paper needs improvement. The methodology is lacking a lot of necessary information including the accuracy calculation. Values are not cited anywhere in the text Figures are missing the scale bar in most cases The result is not detailed at all. You need to add as much as information as you could to the result, and then explain them in the discussion, but that is not the case the discussion is not detailed enough and there are parts that need to be moved to the methodology. Technical terms like common lead and major elements can not be changed.Please see the attached document for your reference

Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Authors,
in general, I am impressed by the amount of work you have done. However, there is still room for improvement. My biggest issue is that there is no actual place in the paper that you present the data (cite the values) and discuss them. There is a table, but it is would be much easier to read the paper if the facts are lined up.
Figure 3: needs some work, the concordia plots need to show just the points you used to calculate the age, not all the points. Please delete the ones to the right of the concordia line and re-plot the figures.
Figure 6: Scale bars are extremely hard to read, please enlarge the font
Please see my notes on the manuscripts for your information.
