Abstract

The article is devoted to analysis of the glauconite resource base in Russia. The geotectonic and lithological-paleogeographic positions of deposits and large glauconite occurrences, and their formation conditions are considered. Based on the structural position, age, and spatial localization of deposits and occurrences, glauconite provinces are identified and the most promising areas for expanding the glauconite resource base in the Russian Federation are identified. Information on reserves in deposits, the degree of their development, and production volumes is given. An overview of the main producer countries and glauconite production volumes in the world is presented. The geological structure and quality of raw materials in the Karinsk glauconite deposit are described. In tectonic terms, the glauconite deposits and occurrences in Russia are confined to the central parts of plates and platforms, foredeeps, and orogenic belts. The majority of glauconite deposits and occurrences are found in the Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene (Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous in some cases) rocks. Predicted glauconite resources in the Russian Federation are more than 2.5 Gt. The most promising sites include the areas of western Siberia, as well as Moscow and Kirov districts in the European part of Russia.

俄罗斯海绿石矿床：地质位置、形成条件和发展前景

摘要

本文致力于对俄罗斯海绿石资源基础的分析。考虑了矿床和大型海绿石产点的大地构造和岩性-古地理位置及其形成条件。根据矿床和矿点的构造位置、年龄和空间定位，确定了海绿石省份，并确定了俄罗斯联邦最有希望扩大海绿石资源基础的地区。给出了关于矿床储量、开发程度和产量的信息。概述了世界主要生产国和海绿石产量。描述了卡林斯克海绿石矿床的地质结构和原材料质量。在构造方面，俄罗斯的海绿石矿床和产状仅限于板块和台地、前深部和造山带的中部。大多数海绿石矿床和矿点发现于上白垩纪和古近纪（在某些情况下是晚侏罗世或早白垩世）岩石中。预计俄罗斯联邦的海绿石资源量超过 2.5 Gt。最有希望的地点包括西西伯利亚地区，以及俄罗斯欧洲部分的莫斯科和基洛夫地区。
