About lithologic methods of studying coal-bearing deposits

Abstract

In order to compare lithological methods of studying coal-bearing deposits, the article considers the main theoretical basis of the facial-geotectonic method developed by the author, which is essentially different from the facial-cyclic and facial-geotectonic methods, and raises the question of merging the facial-cyclic and facial-geotectonic methods. The practical application of the proposed lithologic methods in geological exploration is evaluated.
