The pegmatites of Murzinka-Adui region (Ethtern sector of the Middle Urals), represented by three types of veins miarolitic pegmatites with topaz and beryl (mines Mokrusha, Kazennitsa, Semenovskaia), miarolitic rubillite-lepidolite pegmatites (Lipovka veins field) and rare metal pegmatites with Ta-Nb-Be mineralization (deposits Kvartal’noe and Lipovyi Log).Materials and methods. Isotope dating was carried out via the 40Ar-39Ar method by a mass spectrometer Micromass 5400 at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS for mica of different composition (muscovites, biotites and lepidolites).Results. 40Ar/39Ar ages for mica from dated pegmatite veins of the topaz-beryl type coincide within the measurement accuracy: mine Kazennitsa – 252.3 Ma, Mokrusha – 253.7 and Semenovskaia – 250.3 Ma. The average age of the two series of mica from rubillite-lepidolite pegmatites was found to be 254.1 Ma. The average age of four samples of muscovites from rare metal Ta-Nb-Be pegmatites equals 252.6 Ma.Conclusions. The closure of the isotope system of micas in pegmatites of all three studied types (topaz-beryllium, rubillite-lepidolite and rare-metal with Ta-Nb-Be mineralization) occurred almost simultaneously during the timeframe of 254 to 250 Ma years ago. The obtained age values, however, cannot be identified with the time of formation of pegmatites. The analysis of the available data suggests that the closure of the micas K-Ar isotope system of the studied pegmatites as well as previously dated schists and blastomylonites of the Bazhenovo suture zone and granites of the Murzinka-Adui block marks an important episode in the geological history of the eastern margin of the Urals and the basement of the adjacent part of the West Siberian plate: the change of the transpression regime prevailing during the collision stage of the region’s development to the regime of limited postcollision extension.","PeriodicalId":18202,"journal":{"name":"LITHOSPHERE (Russia)","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74005221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anomalous magnetic field of the southern part of the Barents Sea Shelf.Materials and methods. The research was based on a digital matrix (grid) of the anomalous magnetic field (AMP) compiled from the materials of magnetic surveys performed in 2002–2007 by a number of research organizations and research and production companies. A model describing the structure and formation of the magneto-active layer of the southern part of the Barentsevomorsk region was developed. An analysis of the radially averaged field spectrum made it possible to establish the confinement of the upper edges of the field sources to several structural horizons. Band filtering in the frequency domain in accordance with the allocated depth ranges allowed anomalies to be distinguished from other sources. To determine the nature of sources of magnetic anomalies at different levels of the earth’s crust, an integrated analysis of gravimagnetic fields, seismic profiling data and ground studies was conducted.Results. At least two levels of magnetic anomaly sources were found: the distribution of effective magnetization for the low-frequency component of AMP, reflecting the depth structure of the region, and the high-frequency component of AMP, reflecting the distribution of local intrusions in the upper part of the foundation and in the sedimentary cover. The lower level is represented by massive blocks of deep laying and corresponds to the SDR (Seaward Dipping Reflectors) complex, which is an alternation of tectonic plates of continental material with ultrabasite basites that were introduced into the crust at the post-rift stage of the continent’s split. The zone of positive linear anomalies of the magnetic field reflects the divergent boundary of the ancient continental plate of the Baltic, which arose during the fragmentation of the supercontinent of Colombia (Paleopangea) in the middle reef and the formation of the Rifean oceanic basin, which was then veiled by subsequent tectonic processes. The upper structural level indicates the introduction of the main composition into the upper layers of the earth’s crust in the zones of rift-forming faults of magma in late Devonian times during the process of continental rifting on the Svalbard Plate. This is confirmed by the presence of manifestations of the main magmatism within the propagation zone of the South Barents riftogenic depression into the body of the Baltic Shield.Conclusions. The conducted integrated analysis of the anomalous magnetic field and other geological and geophysical data allowed the authors to establish the nature of the sources of magnetic anomalies located at different structural levels of the earth’s crust in the southwestern part of the Barents Sea shelf. The magnetoactive layer of this region is characterized by a complex structure, the section of which includes at least two structural levels, each reflecting certain evolutionary stages of the earth’s crust.","PeriodicalId":18202,"journal":{"name":"LITHOSPHERE (Russia)","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86601369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the structure and composition of the paleosols.Materials and methods. Core material from wells was studied by X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy and a detailed description of the core and thin sections.Results. Four types of paleosols were identified, three of which are developed on a dolomite substrate. The dolomites are characterized by the following features: microcrystalline structure with a crystal size of 5–10 microns; predominantly euhedral form of crystals, high intercrystalline porosity (up to 38%), inclusions of in situ halite, gypsum and anhydrite, ubiquitous filaments of sepiolite. In paleosols based on a limestone substrate, beta-calcretes with Microcodium were found. The study of fossil roots (rhizoliths) revealed the correlation between their types and substrate composition. Thus, petrified rhizoliths and root casts filled with sedimentary rock and developed clay cutans were found on a dolomite substrate, while calcite tubules around root channels were developed on a limestone substrate. The latter show the presence of abundant Microcodium formations.Conclusions. The revealed morphological and compositional features of the paleosols under study, such as the presence of in situ halite and sulfates (anhydrite and gypsum), sepiolite, and beta calcretes, point to the semiarid climate during the Kashira age on the area under study.","PeriodicalId":18202,"journal":{"name":"LITHOSPHERE (Russia)","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82551352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Permian-Triassic flood basalts in the basement of the Arctic zone of the West Siberian Platform locate mainly in graben-rift structures. Flood basalts in this region remain to be understudied in comparison with other areas of its distribution, mainly due to the significant depth of their occurrence (4–6 km).Materials and methods. 36 core samples from 11 superdeep and deep boreholes were studied. Isotopic ratios were measured on mass spectrometers NEPTUNE PLUS (Nd, Sm) and TRITON PLUS (Rb, Sr). Bitumen were studied using a Raman spectrometer LabRAM HR800 Evolution. The Raman spectra were deconvoluted (“Peak fitting” procedure), and the bitumen conversion temperature was estimated.Results. About half of the samples of volcanic rocks underwent metamorphism of the prehnite-pumpellite and locally greenschist facies or intense low-temperature hydrothermal alteration. The studied basalts are close to typical flood basalts and are somewhat similar to island-arc volcanic rocks in terms of their geochemical characteristics. For the first time, thin inclusions of bitumen were found in the amygdalae of Permian-Triassic basalts in the superdeep borehole Tyumenskaya SG-6 at a depth of 7310.6 m. A high similarity of the studied volcanics by geochemical characteristics and the isotopic composition of Sr and Nd with the flood basalts of the Siberian platform is shown.Conclusions. The presence of a negative Ta, Nb, Ti anomaly, as well as a negative Ce anomaly, in some of the analyzed samples indicates a possible contamination of the basalts by island arc volcanics and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks. The temperature of transformation of bitumen in inclusions in basalts from the well Tyumenskaya SG-6 according to Raman spectroscopy is estimated at 150–300°C and generally corresponds to the temperature of metamorphism of the host basalts. The presence of bitumen in the amygdalae may indicate the migration of hydrocarbons through the basalts.","PeriodicalId":18202,"journal":{"name":"LITHOSPHERE (Russia)","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84640460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, the results of a study of hydrothermal-bacterial carbonate structures and a shell bank of brachiopods on the surface of the effusive sequence of the Late Triassic Tessel paleovolcano are presented. Methods. Petrographic thin sections were studied using an Olympus BX 5 microscope with an Olympus DP 12 camera. Geochemical investigations were performed according to the conventional methodology by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The isotopic composition of carbon was determined by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) by a Deltaplus Advantage instrument. The mass spectrometer was paired with an EA Flash1112 analyzer and a TC/EA convector. When measuring, the NBS-19, NBS-18, and IAEA-C-3 standards were used. Results. The data obtained on the geology, geochemistry, and isotopic composition of the studied materials confirm the existence of a symbiosis between brachiopods and protozoa. The primary formation of organic matter and carbonate of bacterial structures occurred due to the processing of paleofluids by the community of bacteria and archaea. These organisms created carbonate, sulfide and organic matter in a suboxide environment of hydrogen sulfide and methane. The biocenosis of the shell bank of brachiopods was characterized by a poor taxonomic composition and a high biological productivity. The formation of a shell bank of brachiopods with bacterial carbonate edifices took place during the period of volcanic activity and continued during breaks in eruptions. The results of geochemistry and the carbon isotopic composition of the carbonate of bacterial buildups confirm the deep nature of the paleofluids. The Norian age of paleovolcanism was determined from finds on the surface of the terrigenous- volcanic sequence of brachiopods Worobiella ex gr. caucasica Dagys and ammonite Megaphyllites insectus (Mojsisovics). Conclusions. According to geological features, the material of the shell bank of brachiopods with bacterial carbonate structures on the surface of the Tessel paleovolcano belongs to the ancient hydrocarbon seeps-carbonate. Based on their genesis and formation material, these formations should be referred to as Triassic methanoliths. Signs of allocation of similar formations in other time intervals and regions are given. Emissions of fluids with hydrogen sulfide and methane by the Tessel paleovolcano in the Late Triassic may have been related to the causes of the “global extinction”.","PeriodicalId":18202,"journal":{"name":"LITHOSPHERE (Russia)","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77788705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chromite ores and massive chromitites with alumina (low chromium) chrome spinelide (the Podennoye deposit deposit) and chromite ores with high-chromium chrome spinelide (Kurmanovskoye deposit) of the Alapaevsky hyperbasite massif. Materials and methods. Samples of chromite ores and massive chromitites collected during field research were studied in transparent sections using chemical analysis and electrical methods (electrical conductivity, dielectric losses). Results. The temperature dependences of electrical resistance and dielectric losses in the temperature range of 20‒800°C were obtained. The electrical parameters lgRₒ and Eₒ were determined, and the inverse linear relationship bet-ween them was revealed. The electrical parameters for the three groups of samples were found to differ depending on the degree of metamorphic changes. It was established that an increase in metamorphism leads to an increase in lgRₒ and a decrease in Eₒ. For the studied samples of chromite ore from the Podennoye deposit, Eₒ and lgRₒ vary from 0.61 to 0.96 and from 2.5 to –0.41, respectively. In the Kurmanovskoye field, these parameters vary from 0.81 to 1.35 and from 0.95 to –2.8, respectively. For the studied samples of chromitites from the Podennoye deposit, Eₒ varies from 0.21 to 0.41, while lgRₒ varies from –0.08 to 1.67.

The estimations of oil resources in Western Siberia obtained using a basin modeling of the Bazhenov formation as an oil source stratum indicated a significant deficit of its potential, calculated based on the pyrolytic kinetic parameters of catagenesis. Aim. To search for possible additional oil generating mechanisms parallel to catagenesis, thus clarifying the conceptual foundations of the modern theory of the organic origin of oil. Key points. Based on a review of literature publications, a hypothesis was formulated about the evolution of organic matter from sedimentary flow floccules to the injection of proto-oil into the microcracks of the autofluid fracturing of source rocks. In the upper unconsolidated bottom sediment layers, biofilms appear whose microbial matrix forms a basis for future kerogen. Proto-oil bitumoids appear as a by-product of biofilm microbial metabolism under the anaerobic conditions at diagenesis stage. Рroto-oil bitumoids are encapsulated and absorbed on the surfaces and inside the chambers and conducting channels of the biofilm polymer matrix (future kerogen). Local ultra-high pressure (LUHP) inside kerogen grains appears at the final “smectite – illite” transition stage of host clays, acting as a driving force for encapsulated bitumoid expulsion from kerogen grains. On the walls of microcracks, proto-oil bitumoids undergo hydropyrolysis, consuming cohesive film water and changing the surface philicity. Microphotographs and SEM images of thin sections are provided in order to illustrate LUHP-expulsion traces. Two types of oil source rocks are differentiated based on the possibility of proto-oil LUHP expulsion: those with a plastic mineral framework and a rigid mineral framework. Conclusion. The presence of porous spaces filled with bitumoids was established in the kerogen of immature potentially oil source rocks. This mass of encapsulated bitumoids is an additional resource of oil generation within the “oil window”. Their expulsion volume can be estimated and attributed to a certain temperature range.

Results. The ferruginous-aluminous metapelites of the North Yenisei Ridge consitute redeposited and metamorphosed products of Precambrian weathering crusts predominantly of the kaolinite rather than lateritic type, as was previously thought. The chemical weathering of rocks in the Early Proterozoic on the Yenisei Ridge did not reach the deep stage of lateritization with the formation of zones of final decomposition of aluminosilicates; however, this process was limited to the formation of weathering products of predominantly kaolinite-illite-montmorillonite-quartz composition. Conclusions. The petro- and geochemical characteristics of the studied metapelites are mainly due to the features of sedimentation during the formation of the protolith, which could have been formed due to the erosion of the Lower Proterozoic microgneisses of the Siberian craton with ages in the range of 1962-2043 Ma with the involvement of granitoid and volcanic admixture of mafic rocks into the erosion area and subsequent accumulation in marginal continental shallow basins under the conditions of a humid climate and a calm tectonic regime.
