Article preview

In 1947 in Central Dagestan in the base of the limestone strata of the Lower Cretaceous, in the vicinity of the village of. Zuri-Makhi (according to the map Puri-Makhi) of Sergokala district, the author of this article discovered a celestine deposit. Due to the end of the field season it was impossible to trace the distribution of celestine-bearing strata in other points of the southwestern wing of the Mugrinsky anticline. This opportunity presented itself in 1949, when it was possible to visit a number of points and get acquainted with the section of the limestone sequence of the southwestern wing of the Mugrinskaya anticline in the vicinity of the village of Khantskarki-Makhi. Khantskarki-Makhi, located to the west of the village of Nizhnie Mulebki. Nizhniye Mulebki. The study of the area of Mugrinskaya anticline allowed to find out that the celestine-bearing strata has a significant distribution over the area and is of interest as an object for staging prospecting and exploration works.
