Varieties of Fossil Resins of the Western Central Asia and Their Molecular Structure
This paper provides the first modern day overview of fossil resin finds in western Central Asia, which is located far beyond the traditional resin-bearing regions both in Russia and in northern West Europe. Based on little-known facts and random references in the geological literature, the main locations of fossil resins were revised and described, and the level of their study is assessed. The first FTIR study of the molecular structure of fossil resins in the Aral region showed that their classification as amber (in modern understanding – succinite assigned to the group of viscous resin) is not correct. They are represented by exclusively fragile varieties (retinite and gedanite) and, therefore, have no practical significance as jewelry raw material.
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.
