Summary: | The lithofacies and morphostructural analyses of the Mansi and North Sos’va areas of the Transural placer region allowed us to establish factors of the spatial and lithostratigraphic control of titanium-zirconium placer potential. It was established that the placers are localized in sediments of the upper stage of the Oligocene-Miocene complex and rocks of Oligocene basin shows facies zoning. The most promising are the paleolittoral and shoal facies formed under moderate hydrodynamic activity. In tectonic aspect, the position of promising areas and their lithofacies composition are controlled by flank zones of local domes that experienced epeirogenic movements. Regressive regime in the Oligocene basin suggests the highest probability for the discovery of titanium-zirconium placers of the littoral type in inner zones of neotectonic domes. |
