Abstract

An investigation of the clay mineralogy of the molasse formations of Azerbaijan has been carried out. The results have been correlated with climate, the geochemistry of the basin of deposition, the parent rocks and the tectonic stability both in the area of erosion and the zone of accumulation. A knowledge of the relationship between these factors and the clay mineralogy of the sediments may help in the solution of paleogeographic problems.
