Geological structure of the area of celestine deposits in Central Dagestan
Abstract
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.
