HISTORICAL MINERALOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GEOLOGICAL PAST KONTINENTOV. Article 7. LATE ALPINE (CAINOZOIC) STAGE. ENDOGENNYE OF THE FIELD
Mineragenical productivity of Cenozoic is huge and distributed unevenly in space and temporally. In this stage the Chilean Belt of Cu-porphyry deposits have been appeared as well as the ore Giants Cu-porphyry Bingham, Utah, Oligocene W-Mo Climax (Colo), spanish Almaden (40 % yield in World production), Quaternary Monte Amiata in Italy (40 Hg deposits). In Eocene-Pliocene the unique Be accumulations (bertrandite) have been appeared in tuffs of Spor Mountain, Utah. In Paleocene and Eocene the southern (Asian) rim of Arctic ocean along the chain of so called “astroblemes” (volcanic-tectonic objects) are formed, with lonsdaileite large reserves in some cases.
