Abstract

After a brief account of the work currently in progress on fine-grained sedimentary rocks in the U.S.S.R., and particularly in Azerbaijan, the concept of finely-dispersed minerals as against clay minerals is considered and some comments made on classification schemes. Conditions of formation and deposition determine whether sedimentation or diagenesis is predominant and hence the mineralogy of the deposit. Methods of mineralogical investigation are as yet ill-developed and much remains to be done. Finally, some of the wider problems in clay mineralogy are discussed and some suggestions made regarding the organization of suitable studies, particularly in the U.S.S.R.

†

Some terms used in the Russian text are very difficult to translate into English in an understandable manner: one of these is dispersnaya poroda which is literally dispersed rock: the best English equivalent is probably sediment or fine-grained sedimentary rock. These terms are therefore used. On the other hand, it has been decided for various reasons to leave in literal translation tonkodispersnye mineraly— finely-dispersed minerals. This term, or the alternative vysokodispersnye mineraly (highly-dispersed minerals), is currently much used in Soviet literature and it is useful for the reader to become familiar with them and with their significance.
