Abstract

The amber industry in Ukraine requires the expansion of its mineral resource base. This requires a scientifically sound, modern methodological basis for the “amber forecasting and prospecting system”, which will allow the amber industry to develop systematically, addressing environmental, socio-economic, scientific, educational, and educational issues in a comprehensive manner. It takes into account all known theories of amber formation and uses the main scientific and methodological approaches to prospecting for various minerals. The Prypyat Amber Basin is the most important of all amber basins in Ukraine, which will provide the main increase in amber production in Ukraine. The geological, paleogeographic, geomorphosystemic, and paleogeomorphological factors of the development of its territory and the formation of alluvial amber deposits here are well studied. This makes it possible to introduce the concept of “amber-bearing formation” and “amber-bearing object”, to create a classification of types of amber placer deposits, confirmed and predicted. According to it, structurally-tectonic, geomorphological, paleogeomorphological, morpholithogenetic and combined types of traps of amber can be distinguished. The article discusses morphogenetic types of traps that belong to their combined type and are studied by geological and geomorphological methods.
