Abstract
Both these hypotheses proposed 30‐40 years ago are largely based on some data derived from oceanology and marine geology. Therefore, it is reasonable to return to this problem taking into account the comparative-lithological method and new quantitative estimates based on advanced analytical results. Ore samples from the Melovoe (Oligocene‐Lower Miocene) deposit of Mangyshlak collected by A.V. Kochenov and, in part, A.S. Stolyarov from the AllRussia Institute of Mineral Resources (VIMS) and my collection of fish and marine animal bones with different degrees of lithification sampled during several expeditions of research vessels of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (SIO) in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans served as a basis for this study. Oceanic samples from the shelf zone are largely the Holocene and Recent materials, whereas samples from the pelagic zone are
