The article presents the first data on rare earth mineralization in differentiated intrusions on the western slope of the Southern Urals. When studying the mineralogy of the rocks of the Shuida, Misaelga, Ishliy and Lysogorsk complexes, minerals of rare earth elements (monazite-(Ce) and allanite-(Ce), thorite (auerlite, cheralite)) and REE-bearing minerals (zirconolite-(Y) and epidote). A detailed analysis showed that igneous monazite-(Ce) and allanite-(Ce) are significantly different from the m
