NATURE OF HYPERSTHENE GNEISSES IN THE COASTAL EXPOSURES OF THE DOKHNA RIVER
Abstract
Hypersthenic gneisses of the coastal outcrops and quarries of the Dokhna River are characterized by properties characteristic of iron-siliceous rocks. Formed as a result of granulite metamorphism of sedimentary rocks 2.0±0.1 billion years ago, they are composed of quartz and orthoclase, enriched with magnetite, which has a banded character, which allows them to be classified as a sedimentary banded iron formation of the Superior type.
