Molybdenum in stream sediment on the area of occurrence of the Dukla Folds and their margin

Abstract

Molybdenum content in stream sediment in the western part of the Bieszczady Mts., eastern part of the Beskid Niski Mts. and southern margin of the Doly Jasielsko-Sanockie is contained from 0.1 up to 22.1 ppm and its average content amounts 1.25 ppm. Some zones of increasing molybdenum content in stream sediment have been fixed on geochemical maps in the area; they are orientated in the NW-SE direction. Comparison of the geological map and the geochemical maps of molybdenum content shows relation of the areas of higher molybdenum concentration in recent stream sediment to the areas of occurrence of Menilite Beds .
