Lithogeochemical features of Shales from lower Riphean satka formation (Bashkirian anticlinorium): new data

Lithogeochemical features of fine-grained siliciclastic rocks (shales) of the Lower Riphean Satka formation are discussed. The composition of Satka shales is compared with UCC, PAAS and shales of the Lower Riphean Ai formation. It is established that fine-grained siliciclastic rocks of the Lower Riphean Satka formation were formed mainly from acid magmatic rocks.
