Abstract The paper presents a review of stratigraphy, lithology and metallogeny of the Paleogene and Neogene coal basins from the Primorye region of southeast Russia. The stratigraphic division of the studied sections is based on the abundant fossil plant material, represented by leaf impressions and, in lesser amounts, fruit and seed fossils, as well as detailed palynological analyses. Previously published U Pb zircon and K Ar bulk-rock dates of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks were also used. As a result of this study, five stages of Cenozoic sedimentation are distinguished, namely the Late Paleocene, Early Eocene, Late Eocene, Late Oligocene, and Early Miocene. The Early Eocene, Late Eocene, Late Oligocene coal-bearing units carry high concentrations of critical elements and include 3 of the 7 most germanium-enriched coal deposits in the world. In addition, coals in the Pushkino, Pavlovka, Vanchin, Rakovka, and Rettikhovka basins contain numerous occurrences of rare earth elements and yttrium; gold occurs in the Pavlovka, Vanchin, Rakovka, Krylovka, Sredne-Bikin, and Verkhne-Bikin basins; uranium occurs in the Pavlovka, Rakovka, Rettikhovka, and Glukhovka basins; while zirconium and niobium occur in the Pushkino basin.

俄罗斯远东滨海边疆区新生代含煤地层植物生物地层学

摘要 本文综述了俄罗斯东南部滨海边疆区古近系和新近系煤盆地的地层学、岩性和成矿学。研究部分的地层划分是基于丰富的植物化石材料，以叶印为代表，少量的水果和种子化石，以及详细的孢粉学分析。之前发表的 U Pb 锆石和 K Ar 火山岩和火山碎屑岩的大块岩石日期也被使用。作为这项研究的结果，区分了五个新生代沉积阶段，即晚古新世、早始新世、晚始新世、晚渐新世和早中新世。早始新世、晚始新世和晚渐新世含煤单元含有高浓度的关键元素，包括世界上 7 个最富含锗的煤矿床中的 3 个。此外，Pushkino、Pavlovka、Vanchin、Rakovka 和 Rettikhovka 盆地的煤含有大量稀土元素和钇；金产于 Pavlovka、Vanchin、Rakovka、Krylovka、Sredne-Bikin 和 Verkhne-Bikin 盆地；铀产于 Pavlovka、Rakovka、Rettikhovka 和 Glukhovka 盆地；而锆和铌则出现在普希金诺盆地。
