New data showed the presence of two locations of fossil mammals in this section. One location is associated with a channel sand deposited in the Middle Kargian time (MIS 3) about 40550±650 y.a. By the end of the Kargian time (MIS 3) about 30300±350 y.a., the river began to meander, resulting in the replacement of the channel sedimentation by flood-plain one. During this period, the location of Novosurtaevka 2 was formed. The fauna of the Novosurtaevka 1 location is typical for the Middle and Late Pleistocene of the Pre-Altai Plain. The fauna is characterized by the co-existence of species of steppe and forest-steppe biotopes. The presence of remains of red-backed mices in the location is most likely determined by development of floodplain forests in steppe zone and proximity to the mountainous region. Data on malacofauna and vegetation confirm the development of spruce forests and floodplain vegetation in the surrounding areas.","PeriodicalId":52268,"journal":{"name":"Geology and Mineral Resources of Siberia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48127790","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}

Under the influence of external dynamic flow on the elements of open system, the process of their transformation takes place. The correlation between independent characteristics of these elements may be due to the dominant process of influencing the system. The product of approximation coefficient and statistical interval parameter of two samples of measured characteristics corresponds to the statistical intensity of the open system transformation process. The process of secondary kaolinitization is investigated, its intensity is determined by positive correlation relationships of geophysical (petrophysical) indications of the total porosity and clay content of sand rocks at various oil-and-gas fields. The positive regression between samples of petrophysical parameters of porosity and clayiness is interpreted as a secondary kaolinitization of sandy rock, and the product of approximation coefficient with a part of the studied interval of this positive correlation of sample values is defined as the statistical intensity of the secondary kaolinitization process. The validity of the method used is confirmed by comparing the calculated intensity of secondary kaolinitization of the studied interval with the petrographic study of core sections.","PeriodicalId":52268,"journal":{"name":"Geology and Mineral Resources of Siberia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45501930","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 low content of carbon dioxide in them led to a small boiling depth, decompression solidification and explosion of solidified parts of rising pyrogeic columns under the influence of the high internal pressure of gas phase preserved by solidification and to the formation of explosive diatremes insignificant in volume. Therefore, explosion products were ejected mainly onto the Earth’s surface and formed diamond tuffs and tuffizites.

For the first time, the chemical composition of pore waters for the entire thickness of bottom sediments was determined for the lakes of the Russian Arctic. The enrichment of pore waters with biogenic compounds NO3 –, PO4 3– and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is shown to be a consequence of microbiological destruction of organic matter (OM), as a result of which the labilest components of OM pass into the pore water, and reducing environment arises in the sediments. An increase in Fe, Mn, Al, As, B, Ba, Co, Mo, Ni, Si, Sr, V, Y concentrations in pore waters was found in comparison with supra-bottom water due to the diagenesis of bottom sediments. The role of OM in changes concerned with mineral composition of sediments and formation of authigenic minerals (pyrite, calcite) was shown.
