Abstract <p>Conglomerates are widespread in the Paleozoic deposits of Wrangel Island and occur at different stratigraphic levels of the sedimentary cover. Conglomerates of the Central tectonic zone of Wrangel Island previously classified as Carboniferous are represented by two types, which differ in the composition of their components. The conglomerates of the first type have a complex structure. They are dominated by fragments of metamorphic schists and mafic volcanics. The conglomerates of the second type are dominated by rounded fragments of quartz, limestones, and faunal remains. The composition of the conglomerates of the second type is similar to that of intraformational conglomerates from the sections of the Northern tectonic zone. The Guadalupian–Lopingian (Middle–Late Permian) age of these conglomerates was reliably established through the analysis of faunal remains. Thus, conglomerates of the first and second types in the Central zone of Wrangel Island are most likely of different ages, while the later ones (conglomerates of the second type) can be attributed to the Middle–Upper Permian. Two horizons of different-aged conglomerates in the Central zone of Wrangel Island indicate local rearrangements at the beginning of the Pennsylvanian (the Bashkirian Age) and Guadalupian–Lopingian (Middle–Late Permian). Similar rearrangements, accompanied by unconformities, can also be traced in the Permian deposits of the Sverdrup basin of Arctic Canada.</p>
