Abstract
The article presents a comparative analysis of the Paleozoic and Cenozoic reef formation, mainly in terms of the position of reefs in the basins of continental and oceanic blocks. It is shown that the main formation of reefs took place in the Cenozoic directly in the oceans, including boundaries between oceans and continents, and, to an extremely limited scales, in the basins of the continental segment. In the Paleozoic, reefs were formed not only in oceans, but also in spacious basins of continental block. This is one of the manifestations of the general evolution of carbonate accumulation, when the Paleozoic carbonate sediments were formed in such shallow-water bodies that covered very significant surfaces of continents.
期刊介绍:
Lithology and Mineral Resources is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is given to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes. The major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on the continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal–sedimentary mineral resources. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
