Geology of minerals. Textbook for universities. 3rd fixed and supplemented. Ignatov P.A., Starostin V.I.

This textbook covers a wide range of issues of the origin of various mineral deposits. The latest achievements were used in the field of geology, geochemistry, experimental and calculated physicochemical data related to the genesis of deposits. The characteristic of the main genetic units of minerals is given. The geotectonic position of the ore regions is shown. The foundations of tectonophysical conditions for the formation of the structures of ore fields and deposits are considered. For the first time, information was given about the likely nuclear transformations in the nucleus of the Earth, which can be the basis of global and historical metalogue.

The presented material is a necessary basis for the preparation of students in the field of geology, geophysics, hydrogeology and ecology, can be used by specialists, engaged in the search, exploration and development of deposits of metal and non -metallic minerals.
