Description
Summary:The unique mineralogical findings in the coastal outcrops of the Taimyr Peninsula have been investigated. The internal structure, mineral and chemical composition of the mineral formations have been considered. The drusoid formations were established to be glendonites, and the spherical mineral aggregates were found to compose of carbonate material mainly, the last one containing numerous inclusions of pyrite, ilmenite, plagioclase, chlorite, amphibole, apatite and barite. Due to the usage of physical and chemical modeling it is shown that the investigated mineralogical findings proved to be the result of chemical processes in the system "water-permafrost rocks".
