This monograph reflects the results of a fundamental investigation ofmetasomatic skarn and ore formation in dolomites, which the authorhas been conducting for decades.
The genetic complication and practical significance of skarn depositsof ores and other minerals found on all continents necessitatedcomprehensive studying of the processes of their formation, thepetrochemical and mineral composition of metasomatic rocks and ores,and their postmagmatic and exogentic alteration. The investigationwas based on the latest methods for establishing chemicalcomposition, simulation of hydrothermal ore formation, and oninformation on the isotope composition of carbon, oxygen, boron andsulfur in ores and minerals.
The development in geochemical methods of prognosis, prospecting for,and appraising the quality of skarn ores of various compositionproved their merits in the finding of new deposits and promisingbodies of new mineral kinds of ores in Russia and other countries.
This book will be of value and interest to investigators of skarndeposits as well as to geochemists, petrologists and mineralogistsinvolved in their prospecting and extraction.
