Abstract
The structure and chemical composition of ferromanganese crusts formed on the sedimentary cover of the underwater volcanoes of the Peter the Great Seamount and the Vasilkovsky Ridge, located near the continental slope of Primorye (Sea of Japan), are studied. The crusts were formed as a result of cementation and precipitation of manganese hydroxides on the sediment surface. The signs of the hydrothermal nature of these formations are very high titanium and low aluminum modules, low contents of nonferrous and rare-earth elements (REEs), and an excess of heavy REE contents over the light ones. An ore substance was probably deposited in the Pleistocene–Holocene from postvolcanic hydrothermal solutions. Unlike the crusts deposited on basalts in the central parts of the Sea of Japan, these crusts do not contain inclusions of fine grains of medium- and high-temperature mineral phases of nonferrous metals.
期刊介绍：
Russian Journal of Pacific Geology publishes the results of research on the Earth crust and mantle composition and provides articles on the geological structure and patterns of distribution of mineral deposits in the Pacific Ocean, marginal seas and continental margins. It discusses the topics of stratigraphy, sedimentology, magmatic activity, and seismicity. The journal deals with the problems of lithosphere plates tectonics, and offers the results of neotectonic, geomorphological, geodesic, environmental and mining studies in the Pacific region. The journal accepts theoretical, methodical and philosophical articles covering general issues of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geoecology and mining. The journal also publishes critical notes and comments, and reviews.
