The material composition of the core is heterogeneous and has clear bedding. Lacustrine sediments are represented by the upper 293 cm. Each bed of the sediments is subjected to microbiological analysis. A high total number of heterotrophic bacteria is revealed in the upper (0–15 cm) and deeper (110–150 cm) sapropel intervals. Sulfate-reducing bacteria are identified only in Chrysophyceae cysts. The CaO/Fe2O3 ratio shows the degree of “carbonate content” of bottom sediments. It is low in the lake sapropel (0.2), which indicates the geochemical specificity (carbonate-free sapropel). Na, Mg, Al, Si, Al, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zr, and Cr concentrations in sapropel are within the average concentrations for the Earth’s crust, shale, and oceanic pelagic clays, while U and Mo concentrations exceed them. Phytoplankton is enriched in phosphorus (biogenic element) and chalcophile elements (Zn, Cd, Sn, Sb, Hg, Pb, and Cu), which characterize the pollution of the modern atmosphere of the Baikal region. Diagenetic processes result in the transformation of the pore waters, namely an increase in mineralization as compared to lake water, an increase in the concentrations of biogenic components (HCO3-, NH4+, NO3-, and PO43-) and a decrease in SO42-. Pyrite framboid accumulations are revealed in organomineral sediments below the horizon of 200 cm, and iron phosphates represented by vivianite are identified in sapropel.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42910257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Sumian mafic rocks intruding the rocks of the Archean domains with different crust ages (>3.1 and 2.7–2.8 Ga) have similar geochemical characteristics (SiO2 = 44–55 wt.%, MgO = 5–14 wt.%; LREE enrichment, (La/Yb)N = 5–17) and similar values of εNd(T) (from –2.7 to –0.5) and TNd(DM) (from 3.0 to 2.7 Ga), which distinguishes them from their Archean analogues and indicates a single large magma source. The crustal contamination of the primary melts did not exceed 15% and could not determine the isotope-geochemical specifics of the Sumian mafic rocks. Their specific composition is better explained by the model of the formation of primary melts through the low-pressure (2.5–3.0 GPa) melting of the Neoarchean metasomatized zones of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, with the addition of the primitive-mantle melts.

The Salair orogen is an allochthon overriding the Kuznetsk Basin on a system of imbricate thrusts. The southern flank of the Salair thrust system is tectonically juxtaposed against the Gornaya Shoria terrane which differs markedly from Salair in its geological setting. The Salair and Gornaya Shoria terranes are separated by the Nenya-Chumysh Basin, a deep Mesozoic trough. The Salair orogen is composed of Cambrian–Early Ordovician island arc volcanic and sedimentary rocks, widespread garnet amphibolites and gneisses of the Angurep complex in its southern flank, and the Shalap subduction-related melange in the Alambai ophiolite suture. The southern Salair orogen and its junction with Gornaya Shoria have been imaged down to the lower crust by magnetotelluric (MT) soundings, which is an efficient tool for investigating the deep structure and tectonic history of orogenic areas. The MT surveys were performed at 25 stations on a 120 km long profile. MT data revealed an up to 70 km wide low-resistivity zone (a conductor) traceable till a depth of 20 km between the Salair and Gornaya Shoria terranes. The low-resistivity zone has a complex structure with its outer and interior boundaries dipping almost vertically. The conductor lies under several major geological structures: the Shalap melange, the Nenya-Chumysh Basin, and the NE trending Altai–Salair right-lateral strike-slip fault. The Altai–Salair fault, along which the Salair allochthon was displaced relative to Gorny Altai and Gornaya Shoria, joins the Salair system of imbricate thrusts. The Nenya-Chumysh Basin at the Salair–Gornaya Shoria junction is a deep trough having an asymmetric transversal profile with a steep western side and a shallower-dipping stepped eastern side. The southeastern flank of the basin is a wide area of thin sediments over the Paleozoic basement dipping gently in the northwestern direction. The revealed deep structure of the Nenya-Chumysh trough is consistent with its tectonic model implying an Early Cretaceous basin superposed over an early Jurassic pull-apart basin. Early Mesozoic motions on major faults is a regional-scale phenomenon known from many areas of southern West Siberia.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45136900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we demonstrate that low efficiency of works is erroneously regarded as one of the main factors hindering a broad adoption of the spectral IP method in mineral exploration activities. Rather, it is a lack of automated techniques for analysis of transient IP characteristics.

However, in many cases precise identification and correlation of this crucial boundary in lithologically contrasting sections is complicated, even if the whole spectrum of biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic methods is applied. The Precambrian–Cambrian transitional strata of the Igarka Uplift (Sukharikha Formation) perfectly illustrate this problem. This unit has arguably one of the most detailed carbonate carbon isotope curves for this time interval (at least within the Siberian Platform). However, an extremely poor paleontological record previously reported from the Sukharikha Formation makes identification of major stratigraphic boundaries highly debatable. We present a detailed study of the Sukharikha and overlying Krasnyi Porog formations in three sections (Sukharikha River, Kulyumbe River, and Khantaisko-Sukhotungusskaya-1 well). Our chemostratigraphic and biostratigraphic data provide a correlation basis for these sections and identify the Cambrian boundary in terms of both the International Chronostratigraphic Chart and General Stratigraphic Scale of Russia. We show that lithologic boundaries and levels of the local first appearance of Tommotian small skeletal fossils are diachronous within the Igarka paleobasin. The latter is putatively caused by paleoecology of the early Cambrian biota and by taphonomic factors. Our data specify the location of the Tommotian Stage (sensu lato)/Cambrian Stage 2 boundary in other key Precambrian–Cambrian transitional sections of the Siberian Platform.","PeriodicalId":49587,"journal":{"name":"Russian Geology and Geophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49551342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Petroleum source rocks of Paleozoic (from Upper Ordovician to lower Carboniferous) deposits stripped by the Vorgamusyurskaya-1 well in the Tal’bei block of the Chernyshev Ridge were studied by lithological, petrographic, organic-petrology, and organic-geochemistry methods. Most of the section is characterized by low values of Corg (<0.5%), genetic potential (S1 + S2 < 0.5 mg HC/g rock), and hydrogen index (HI < 100 mg HC/g Corg). Petroleum source rocks with elevated values of Corg (up to 0.9%), S1 + S2 (up to 2.1 mg HC/g rock), and HI (up to 277 mg HC/g Corg) were identified at different stratigraphic levels of the section: Upper Devonian (D3tm–sr), upper Silurian (S2gj), and Upper Ordovician (O3mt). The maceral composition of organic matter (OM) and the distribution of hydrocarbons in the saturated fraction of bitumens indicate that petroleum source rocks include only marine OM (type II kerogen). The degree of catagenesis of OM was estimated based on the bituminite reflectance (RVeq), Rock-Eval pyrolysis (Tmax), and conodont color alteration index (CAI). The available RVeq (0.63–0.84%), Tmax (430–443 °C), and CAI (1.5–2.0) data indicate that the entire Paleozoic well section is in the oil window (MC1–MC3). The new data refined the catagenetic zoning of the sedimentary section, according to which the OM reached the following gradations: MC1 in the lower Carboniferous and Famennian deposits, MC2 in the interval from the Frasnian to the upper part of the lower Silurian, and MC3 in the lower part of the lower Silurian and in the Upper Ordovician.
