Morphogeneses of the Late Cretaceous Guettardiscyphia (Porifera, Hexactinellida)

Authors: Pervushov E. M.

Guettardiscyphia skeletons are peculiar for thin walls and highly dense apo- and prosopores. Wall mobility was conductive to formation of conical lobate skeletons of various, occasionally geometrically regular outlines. Substantial number of fossil samples from variously composed rocks from all the Upper Cretaceous intervals has made it possible to trace skeleton transformations in sponge ontogenesis and depending on their environmental conditions.

Hydrothermal Processes in Basement Rocks of the West Siberian Oil and Gas Province

Authors: Richter Y. A.

Using Palyanovskoye oil field of Krasnoleninsk arch we demonstrated that local cataclasis and pneumatolytic-hydrothermal metasomatism manifestations are widespread in the Paleozoic basement rocks. For the first time the earliest indications of deep fluid activity were detected – at the stage of granite deep fluid saturation and primary diffuse leaching of feldspars. During transition to the infiltration process, they comprise jet-stream fibroblast structures formed due to biotite and plagioclase resorption by amphibole and scapolite association.

Bio-, Magneto and cyclostratigraphy of upper Berriasian near v. Alexeevka (Belogorskiy Region, Republic of Crimea). Article 1. Ammonites. Magnetostratigraphy. Cyclostratigraphy

Authors: Grishchenko V. A., Arkadiev V. V., Guzhikov A. Y., Manikin A. G., Platonov E. S., Savelieva Y. N., Surinskiy A. M., Fedorova A. A., Shurekova O. V.

The results bio-, magnetostratigraphic, cyclostratigraphic, lithological and mineralogic studies of the upper part of Sultanovskaya formation and Zelenogorskaya formation near v. Alexeevka (Belogorskiy region of Crimea) were presented in current work. The results of lithological and mineralogic analysis argues for the stratigraphic break between “Sultanovskaya” formation and “Zelenogorskaya” formation and implicitly indicate the age of the sediments as late berriasian.

Authors: Kurazhkovskii A. Y., Kurazhkovskaya N. A., Surinskiy A. M.

There was explored the behavior of Rns parameter (relation between the module of natural remaining magnetization after temperature 250° to the magnetization of saturation) in the interval of Ypresian in Aktolagay plateau (West Kazakhstan). The parameters were recounted to the values of H/H0 (relation between paleointensity to the intensity of modern magnetic field).

Peculiarities of Compositions and Formation Environments of Potassium and Potassium-Magnesium Rocks From the Pogozhskaya Rhythmic Member in The Northwestern and the Northeastern Parts of the Caspian Slope Zone

Authors: Moskovsky G. A., Goncharenko O. P., Baiguzina A. Z.

The paper presents the results of composition examination of the uppermost of the Pogozhskaya rhythmic member from the northern near-slope fringes of the Caspian Region. The potassium-bearing horizon encountered there is determined to have resulted from the demineralization stage overlapping the carnallite and the bischofite stage deposits. In potassium salt accumulation, the major importance is attributed to the process of potassium ion concentration during the large-scale precipitation of salt-out halite associated with inflowing brine condensed to halite stage.

Morphotypes of the Late Cretaceous Hexactinellids (Porifera, Hexactinellida)

Authors: Pervushov E. M.

Basic structure types have been specified in hexacinellids with soldered spicule lattice. The fossils of those occur as skeletal forms. Certain tendencies in Lychniscosa and Hexactinosa morphogenesis were identified as conductive to shaping the spectrum of skeleton archetypes. The increase of sponge morphological diversity was in many ways predetermined by thickness reduction of the skeleton-forming walls, associated with reduction of the irrigation system elements. That has brought about forms of complicated tubular labyrinth habits.

Authors: Samoilov A. G., Zozyrev N. Y., Engalychev S. Y., Shelepov D. A., Ilyasov V. N.

Multibillion oil shale resources within the Volga shale basin central part (Privolzhsky Federal District: Samara, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, and Orenburg regions) are low-quality sulfurous mineral raw materials. The commercial rhenium content in oil shale was found in the randomly selected samples from the Kashpirsky, Orlovsky, Perelyubsky, and Kotsebinsky fields. Rhenium concentration varies from 0.013 to 0.22 g/t with the ore marginal commercial concentration (as a concomitant component) of 0.05 g/t.

Authors: Surinskiy A. M., Guzhikov A. Y.

On the base of spectral Fourier analysis of magnetic susceptibility time series of nearly 10 000 measurements of rock samples in the turonian-maastrihtian sediments, exposed near Nizhnyaya Bannovka village (Volga River Right Bank, Southern Saratov Region) there were detected long and short eccentricity cycles. Petromagnetic variations, correlated with different variants of eustatic curves detected the presence of well known sequences. The study includes the calculations of sedimentation rates, localization of sedimentation breaks and estimation of their duration.

Authors: Pervushov E. M.

Knowledge on the regularities of vegetative propagation and comprehension of the osculum (oscula) and subosculum structural-functional positions and interrelations in the skeleton structure have made it possible to specify the organization levels in the Late Cretaceous hexactinellids: the unitary (solitary, perifrontal and autonomous forms), transitory (solitary, autonomous and colonial forms) and colonial (primary and true colonies) ones.
