Zusammenfassung |
Outcrops along the Inach River in the Uyandina basin and those along the
Myatis' River in the Indigirka-Zyryanka basin were studied in detail and
sampled for coal rank determinations. The Uyandina basin is an intramontane
pull-apart basin characterized by extensional structures within the Moma rift
system. The coal rank is below 0.3% vitrinite reflectance (Rr), which
indicates shallow, immature conditions of basin formation and very low
subsidence. The Myatis' River coal-bearing outcrops in the Indigirka-Zyryanka
basin reveal compression induced by continent collision. The compressive
deformation includes also lowermost Pliocene strata. Due to the position in
the Verkhoyansk-Chersky fold belt adjacent to the Kolyma-Omolon
microcontinent the Indigirka-Zyryanka basin has much in common with a
foredeep, i.e. the asymmetry in thickness and tectonic structure. The
vitrinite reflectance data (Rr) which range from 0.25% to more than 5%
reinforce the accepted models that describe basin subsidence and geothermal
history and the tectonic deformation. |
