History of studying the continental paleogene-neogene deposits of the territory of the Podlaska-Brest depression

Аннотация

As a result of many years of research on continental Paleogene-Neogene sediments, a variety
of factual material has been accumulated on the features of their structure and formation conditions, stratigraphic schemes have been compiled and approved, and the mineragenic potential has been evaluated in a general way. However, most of these works were carried out mainly on the territory of Belarus as a whole, cartographic construction were carried out on a small scale, the conclusions reached were only limitedly based on data within the Podlaska-Brest Depression. This allows us to state that the currently known materials on lithology, geochemistry and paleogeography of the studied stratum require serious detailing of structural features, material composition, history of geological development, a comprehensive analysis of mineral resources, construction of forecasted mineragenic maps substantiated by sufficient factual material.
