Abstract

We studied Upper Paleozoic (P1pt-ng) carbonaceous shales and siltstones from the area of the Ust'-Kara astrobleme (PayKhoy). We analyzed mineralogical and geochemical features of carbonaceous rocks of the target in the vicinity of the Ust'-Kara astrobleme event using a complex of modern methods to identify possible mobilization, redeposition and concentration of ore substance under intensive post-impact hydrothermal activity. Geochemical features of carbon deposits, altered by post-impact hydrothermal processes in the vicinity of the Ust'-Kara impact structure, have been determined. We found anomalous contents of Ti, Mn, Cr, Zr, Ni, Li, Co, Sc and REE. Inherent rare metal and rare earth minerals (monazite, florensite), sulfides (pyrite, chalcopyrite, marcasite, sphalerite), apatite, barite, anatase, chrome spinels were diagnosed.
