Abstract
The species composition, distribution and preservation of carbonate shells of nanno and microfossils of biogenic bottom sediments within the hydrothermal cluster Pobeda (1707.451708.7 n) were studied on the basis of materials obtained in flight No. 37 of NIS Professor Logachev in the Russian exploration area (Mid-Atlantic ridge). Physical-chemical parameters and the total carbonate content of sediments were measured, their changes in column sections were revealed. For complexes of coccoliths studied precipitation is attributed to the top (acme) biostratigraphic zone of Emiliania huxleyi. It is established that within the zone of hydrothermal activity (ore cluster Pobeda) the total number of microorganisms decreases and their species diversity decreases, as a rule, in the lower part of the columns. Down the column section also decreases the Eh, pH and carbonate precipitation. These changes are explained by the influence of diffuse hydrothermal fluids.
