About distribution of germanium in coal seams of paralic type deposits

Abstract

The regularities of germanium distribution and causal relations of mineralization with the peculiarities of peat bog formation are shown on the example of a stratum of complex structure. The latter is represented by one complex coal seam or split into two, and the distance between them gradually increases from 10-15 cm to 10-12 meters. The areas with low thickness of the interbed are composed mainly of mudstones and less frequently siltstones. In areas with increasing interbed thickness, sandy-silty sediments appear ...
