FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT, LITHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE EOCENE CONTINENTAL DEPOSITS CENTRAL PART OF UKRAINIAN SHIELD

Abstract

We clarify conditions for the occurrence of Middle Eocene continental river sediments within different part softhe paleo valley, and the lithological structure and facial conditions for the formation of deposits have been clarified. Mineral deposits have been studied with in the prospective areas of Middle Eocene paleo valley and the irdigital models have been constructed, in particular maps: the surface relief and the solesof the productive strata; capacity deposit sofmineral sand the containing mineral deposit soflitho facies.Eocene river paleovalleys central part of the Ukrainian shield survived to this day in the form of winding lanes. The river valleys were not only ways of transporting the material to the board on its slopes and adjacent structures (Dnieper-Donets depression and PreBlacksea depression), but also the seat of various minerals, such as ilmenite, gold, secondary kaolin, refractory clay, brown coal. The evolution of river paleovalleys had a decisive influence on the configuration and placement of mineral deposits.
