HYDROMICAS IN SEDIMENTARY ROCKS OF THE CARPATHIANS REGION
Ivan Franko National University of Lviv

E-mail: mineral@ franko.lviv.ua
Hydromicas from sedimentary rocks of the Carpathians region have been explored on the basis of large actual material of many scientists and own long-term mineralogical-geochemical researches analysis and generalization. Distribution and content of hydromicas in the rocks, their crystallochemical features, associations with other layered silicates, origin and postsedimentary alterations are characterized. It is found out that monomineral accumulations of hydromicas are only in hydrothermal rocks; in sedimentary ones they are absent. By determination of hydromicas age (K-Ar method) it is set that they have a terri-genous origin mainly. Hydromicas, which appeared in the process of montmorillonite transformations, less – of kaolinite under influencing of the increased temperature and high-concentrated salt solutions, enriched the potassium ions, have an inferior value. Forming of the layered silicates, including hydromicas, in salt-bearing basins took place as a result of two processes imposition: halmyrolysis of volcanic material or due to hydrothermal solutions, and halogenesis.
Key words: hydromicas, Carpathians region, flysch, salt-bearing clays, chemical com-position, crystallochemical formulae, layered silicates, postsedimentary alterations.

RECENT CONTRIBUTION TO MINERALOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL STUDIES IN THE CARPATHIANS
Rakowiecka St. 4, PL – 00-975 Warsaw, Poland
E-mail: katarzyna.jarmolowicz-szulc@pgi.gov.pl
Samples of rocks, minerals and the organic matter were taken for mineralogical, petrological and geochemical studies from the tectonic melange zone in the vicinity of Jablonki–Rabe and Cisna in the Bieszczady Mts., situated in south-easternmost part of the Polish Outer Carpathians. Analytical procedures comprised sampling and preparation; microscopic evaluation of the material from the point of view of inclusions, organic matter and minerals; detailed microscopic determinations and auxiliary studies. Fluid inclusion analysis was performed on double-sided polished thin sections prepared based on the cold techniques. The minerals analyzed in SEM correspond to calcite, Mn-calcite, dolomite, Mn-dolomite, ankerite and pyrite. XRD studies of black organic aggregates in the form of lenses point to the presence of the following minerals: quartz, dolomite, calcite, clay minerals, gypsum with anhydrite admixture, traces of pyrite and siderite. Feldspars are also present. The pyrolitic Rock-Eval analysis of samples from the Jablonki region showed a variable TOC in the interval from 0,77 to 35,83 % TOC, generally between 0,77 and 4,44 %, with a low HI (from 30 to 116 mg HC/g TOC). Samples display high degree of thermal evolution, which corresponds to the end of generation processes (the end of the oil window). In the composition of the extractable organic matter, the saturated hydrocarbons constitute a majority of 61,3 % that points to adsorption of the generated or migrating oil. Due to the fluid inclusion studies conducted under the microscope in thin sections (calcite) and in glued wafers or loose crystals (quartz – the Marma-rosh “diamonds”), inclusions were characterized in minerals.
Key words: quartz, Marmarosh “diamonds”, calcite, organic matter, inclusions, tectonic melange, Carpathians.

MINERALS OF COPPER AND MANGANESE IN THE SEDIMENTARY ROCKS OF THE CARPATHIANS REGION
Stari Kuty village, Kosiv region, Ivano-Frankivsk area, Ukraine
Copper-manganese mineralization in the section of Cretaceous-Palaeogene sedimentary strata of Carpathians region is controlled by pied-colored and red rocks. Main copper minerals are native copper, chalcocite, chalcopyrite and hypergene malachite, which are absent in carbonate septarian nodules, built by Mn-calcite, rhodochrosite, oligonite. Native copper dendrites in carbonate cement of sandstones and in central parts of glauconite globuls as well as spongy segregations of copper in radiolarites are interesting. The depth of sedimentation basin, possibly, did not exceed 80 m. And in those terms which satisfied P = f (?, ?, ?, ?, ?), on M. Strakhov, cupreous sandstones and aleurolites are enriched by accessory minerals up to natural heavy concentrate. The analysis of modern mineral-forming processes testifies that separately taken intercalation is the polycomponent system, in which there are geochemical processes, parted by difficult surface of Eh0. Already at the insignificant change of physical and chemical indexes on values ±?X they determine direction of mineral-forming and equilibrium between them. It matters not only at a calculation the composition of mix up with the additives of powder-like copper and oxide of cadmium (for example, at filing up of nuclear reactors, regardless of on what chart a chain reaction happened there), but also in a decision of other practically important technical problems.
