Some results of the silicates from Mountain Crimea Paleogene deposits investigations on the base of X-ray analysis have been elucidated. Clayey fractions from carbonate rocks as was ascertained have smectite composition with admixture of the hydromica and zeolite from clinoptilolite–heulandite group as well as chlorite, quartz, feldspars and calcite. Electromagnetic sandy fractions contain glauconite and vermiculite. Smectite, zeolites, glauconite and vermiculite are products of the pyroclastic materials halmyrolysis transported into Crimea Paleogene sedimentary basin.

Key words: Paleogene deposits, Mountain Crimea, volcanic ash, halmyrolysis, smectite, zeolite, glauconite, vermiculite.

During investigations of different classes geological structures great attention is payed to renovation of stress fields in time, which can be conducted for today with the help of mathematical modelling and computer simulation. Presented study is dedicated to definition of the stress-strain state in a collision zone of sedimentary layers and more rigid massif at unilateral pressure. The mechanisms of an elasto-plastic deformation and creeps are taken into account within the framework of complete mechanical contact of layers and their joint sliding along bases. Peculiarities of stress and deformation fields distribution in cross section were analyzed. Particularly, the reference zones of concentration of shearing stresses in competent layers, and also tension zones in the lock layer and on flanks of dominant fold are detected. The adequacy of main effects of probed model to an actual situation in geosyncline belts enables to tender it as a baseline for revision and research of folding processes.

Key words: geological structure, computer simulation, stress, strain, folding, dynamic regime, creep.

A discussion of methodologies for nonlinear geophysical inverse problems is presented. A new class of methods is presented which offers potential in both the optimization and the error analysis stage of the inversion. We argue that without more systematic and realistic error and resolution analysis, interpretations might be misleading. Assuming a steady increase of data quality and coverage, the most challenging aspect of seismic tomography will be to take the nonlinearity of the problem fully into account. It is hoped that this contribution stimulates some discussion in that direction.

Êey words: inverse problem, nonlineary, modeling, geophysics, axial tomography.

Unconcordant structural plans of the folded formations within Ukrainian and Baltic shields gneiss-migmatite basement and green-stone complexes testify the existence of two tectonic cycles corresponding to these complexes time formation. Some folding stages (F1,F2) are characteristic for basement complexes. The last (F2) is connected with rearrangement of the initial (F1) folding forms presented by compressed isocline folds under influence of the superposition of the folding connected with greenstone complex development.

The yamnenska suite rocks are regarded as gravitytes in lithodynamic aspect. They were formed near the flexure-fault zone of passivå Eastern-European platform`s margin. These rocks are highcompetent by their tectonophysical parameters. The yamnenska suite forms a part of nappes “Parashka” and “Zelemyanka”. In the region of the Opor river the dislocation structures of this suite are different in front and back parts of above mentioned nappes. In the frontal part the dislocations of structure paragenesis belong to upthrow fault; in the back part – to fault and straike-slip fault. This difference depends on the degree of cycle elements Bouma spreading in the frontal and back parts of the yamnenskaya suite area. As a result of stress, the pelitomorphic elements of Bouma cycle were not widespread in frontal part, while under strain conditions of the back harts they were widely spread. Dynamokinematic regime of yamnenska suite establishing had a character of local  gaping fault, that was appearing on the phone of  Paleocene relaction of general stress field.

 Key words: structure paragenesis, yamnenska seriers, fault, straike-slip fault, upthrow fault, imbricate structures, nappe, Carpathians.

Distribution peculiarities of the Visean terrigenous rocks of the Lviv-Volyn’ basin were determined by lithological, facial and structural studying. Alluvial and off-shore-marine terrigenous beds of 30 m thickness are placed at two stratigraphic levels – over limestones V0 and V3. Zones with high content of terrigenous rocks (over 30 %) occupy central small isolate plots which coincide with the zones of moderate thickness and bedding.

The different points of view on the tectonic structure of the Middle-Dnieprian granite-greenstone region have been analyzed. It has been shown that the main features of the region structure do not correspond to the traditional “submeridional belt” tectonic model. The Middle-Dnieprian region consists of three first rank blocks (from N to S) - Dnieprian, Zaporiz’kyi and Vasylivs’kyi. The tectonic zones wich divide these blocks, have diagonal position to the submeridional region’s borders. The inner structure of the blocks depends on the second rank tectonic zones, which emerged during the Last Archean greenstone stage and divided the greenstone belt’s basement into polygonal polygenetic gneiss-granitoid antiform structures, Ukrainian shield.

The Early Precambrian I-type volcano-plutonic associations (series from basalts to rhyolites where  subalkaline intermediate rocks prevail) form 3 different belts in the south part of the East-European platform. These belts are located along the borders of the Voronezh-Ukrainian geoblok (Sarmatia) and are similar by their age and composition. It allows to join them in an integral structur - volcano-plutonic superbelt which origin was connected with the collision between Early Proterozoic cratons.

The initiation of the forming of Donets`k basin structure as a part Prypiats`ko-Dniprovo-Donets`k aulakogen is connected with middle Devonian when within Sarmatian shield convex crown the system of deep faults with NW strikes had been developed. The aulakogen developed on the basement of Archean-Proterozoic consolidation. Peculiarity of tectonic dislocations of Donets`k basin is that shear zones are of great importance in forming. These shear zones reflect basement blocks movements and contemporaneously development of small forms of tectonic dislocations in sedimentary layers. Fault dislocations form the permeability zones through which deep gases migrate into subsurface parts of the crust.

Methane and nitrogen are the main components of gas compounds coal-bearing deposits of Donets`k basin. The character of the position and distribution of nitrogen suggest that it can be consider as an indicator of influx of deep gases namely genetically connected with subcrust matter (zone of upper mantle).

Key words: Donets`k basin, deep fault, gases, methane, nitrogen.

The problem of age correlation between kinzigite and enderbite-gnessic formations and their stratigraphic analogues exists more than 30 years. All main works on the problem from the time of the distinguishing this formation till our time have been examined. It was showed that geological data surely prove the most ancient stratigraphicage of the kinzigite formation in the western part of the Ukrainian shield. It is necessary to revise the results of the isotopic-geochronological studies and co-ordinate them with geological data.

The article deals with the questions of geochemistry of copper deposits in Ukrainian Carpathian Skybova zone. The main object of investigation is variegated – color deposits of  Yaremchanska system. This system can be divided into 3 to 5 parts. Some of them are clayey deposits, sandstones, conglomerates.

The problem under discussion is the biogenical influence on the copper deposits formation. But here there will be some problems, because this question has not been given enough attention too. Our hypothesis is that blood system of some Mollusk which contains haemocyanins is serves for formation of new concentrations copper.

Key words: haemocyanin, Yaremchanska system, Ukrainian Carpathian Skybova zone.
