Journal: Moscow University Geology Bulletin
Year: 2023

Data on the abundance of petrogenic and trace elements (including rare earth elements) in the Quaternary deposits of Sevastopol Bay at the pre-technogenic stage of its development have been obtained. Anomalies in the enrichment with Ag, Au, Hg, and Pb and elevated levels of the Cu, Zn, Cd, Sn, and Sb concentrations have been recorded in some layers. These features are apparently determined by sulfide mineralization in the source area and the appearance of specific geochemical barriers (hydrodyna
