Chemical composition of rocks and minerals from the Doldrums and Arkhangelsky Fracture Zones

The book deals with results of complex geological and geophysical studies in the Doldrums and Arkhangelsky Fracture Zones of the Central Atlantic. Description of the main features of bottom relief, sediments and crustal structure, geomagnetic field, composition of igneous and sedimentary rocks are given in the book. The authors made conclusions on tectonic delamination of the oceanic crust and existence of specific rock complexes forming non-spreading blocks

Geochemical composition of bentonite layers and U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from the Paleogene Basilika Formation (Svalbard) and Mount Lawson Formation (Ellesmere Island)

Major and trace element composition as well as Sm-Nd isotopes of whole-rock samples and clay fractions (<2 µm) of bentonite layers and U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from the Paleogene Basilika Formation (Svalbard) and Mount Lawson Formation (Ellesmere Island).
