Abstract

Integrated data of the structure and mineralogical composition of the marking tuff horizon in the Upper-Devonian bed of the North-Shestovich synclinal zone are presented in this paper. Dependence of the tuff bed structure on the volcanic activity stage is revealed. Find out that the prevailing mineral of tuff is the structure-ordered illite 1M. Marked tuff horizon is situated inside the Upper-Devonian salt bed within Petrikov synclinal zone and comes up into the overlaying clay-marl formation of the surrounding geological beds.
