THE NEPSKY-1 IMPACT CRATER AND ITS FILL DEPOSITS ON THE BASEMENT ROOF OF THE SIBERIAN PLATFORM

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
In the Earth studies, discoveries and investigations of impact craters buried beneath thick sediments are sporadic so far and may still remain inefficient, unless geophysical surveys of the areas of interest are initiated. Such studies can provide useful

The astronomical pulse of global extinction events. [PDF]

open access: yesScientificWorldJournal, 2006
The linkage between astronomical cycles and the periodicity of mass extinctions is reviewed and discussed. In particular, the apparent 26 million year cycle of global extinctions may be related to the motion of the solar system around the galaxy, especially perpendicular to the galactic plane.

Variations of Th/U values in Vendian clayey rocks of north-east East-European Platform and Middle and Southern Urals as reflection redox status of sedimentary basins

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2017
Earlier, we considered the features of the redox changes in the near-bottom layer of water in the sedimentation basins that existed during the Late Riphean and Vendian in the eastern and northeastern (in modern coordinates) margins of the Baltic.

Possible “current climate images” of deposits of various lithostratigraphic units of the Ural’s Riphean and Vendian

open access: yesGeologicheskii vestnik, 2021
The average values of the chemical index of alteration (CIA) for clayey rocks of a number of lithostratigraphic units of the Riphean stratotype are compared with the CIA values known in the literature for the sediments of modern large rivers of different

PROVENANCES AND SEDIMENTATION SETTINGS OF THE VENDIAN TERRIGENIC ROCKS OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF NEPA-BOTUOBA ANTECLISE (SIBERIAN PLATFORM)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2022
This paper presents the results of petrographic, lithogeochemical, and U-Pb geochronological studies of detrital zircons in deep core sediments from the Vendian terrigenous sequences of the Nepa and Tira formations in the interior of the Siberian ...

Rare Earths in Geological Formations of Central Region of the Dniester River Basin, Republic of Moldova

open access: yesAdvances in Geology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In the different varieties of crystalline basement of Archean and Proterozoic age and in Vendian (Ediacaran) basal layers of platform coverture in the Central Basin of the Dniester River were found relatively high concentrations of Lanthanum, Cerium, Yttrium, Ytterbium, and Scandium.

Pan‐African Paleostresses and Reactivation of the Eburnean Basement Complex in Southeast Ghana (West Africa)

open access: yesJournal of Geological Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
This faulting tectonics analysis concerns the southernmost segment of the Dahomeyide Orogen and the West‐African craton eastern margin in southeast Ghana. The analysis of strike‐slip faults in the frontal units of the Dahomeyide Belt indicates that four distinct compressive events (NE‐SW, ENE‐WSW to E‐W, ESE‐WNW to SE‐NW and SE‐NW to SSE‐NNW ...
