The studies to determine the concentration of mobile and total forms of heavy metals. Assessed by an excess of total and mobile forms of heavy metals in the soil cover over the set of MPC and evaluated geochemical transformation of soils by analyzing their total fertility heavy metal pollution.

Provides rhythmostratigraphic characteristic of Lower Permian halogen formations of Western monoclinal part of the North-Caspian halmeic basin. Paleogeographic conditions of accumulation of potassium and magnesium and magnesium deposits in the Volga Monocline and the southern deadlock part that holds Gremyachinskoe deposit and related search sites: Darganovskiy and Ravninniy are considered.

It was established that with convective heat and mass transfer in the region of the Krasnoleninskij swell (West Siberia), the pulsating lateral pressure regime used to contribute to interlayer water avalanche liberation from the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous smectites in the process of their hydromicatization. The resurgent (petrogenic) water constituted the basis of the hydrothermal solutions responsible for the processes of ultra-acid leaching, metasomatosis, hydrocarbon generation and migration.

The article is devoted to the plane problem of appraisal critical effort, appearing in a flaky- horizontals model of a weak grunt environment under the influence of loading, the kind of which has a form of an symmetrical triangular and semi-infinite combined load.

The paper deals with the role of the factors that determine the texturalstructural peculiarities of potassium, potassium-magnesium and magnesium salts in the Caspian halogenic basin. Special reference is made to the role of highly concentrated brine preservation in certain basin water areas, importance of constant inflow of low condensed brine, salting-out of sodium and potassium chlorides, basin bottom morphology, the influence of two types of sedimentation rhythmicity (halogenic and terrigenous) and secondary processes of mineral formation.

The problem of Paleozoic volcanism in the southeastern Precaspian depression remains unsolved despite its relevance. Obtained by the authors results can be most adequately explained from the plate tectonics standpoint as the evidence of subduction and subsequent collision that created the Precaspian Basin southeastern framing.

The level with anomalous high values of natural remanent magnetization and Koenigsberger ratios was identify in the Upper Maastrichtian of Vol’sk depression (Saratov Volga Region). The microprobe studies of samples from this layer registered elevated concentrations of microparticles of iron, nickel, intermetallics and magnetite spherules of cosmic genesis. Similar petromagnetic anomaly was detect in the uppermost of Maastrichtian in the South Cis-Caspian (Aktolagay Plateau, Kazakhstan).

The paper presents the first review of the Permian and Triassic fish holotypes belonging to two classes (Sarcopterygii and Chondrich Chondrichthyes), recognized by the authors upon collecting and examining ichthyofauna bone remains from the sections within the East European Platform and the adjacent regions.

Partial and complete regeneration phenomena, cases of skeleton habitus restoration have been recorded in representatives of the Late Cretaceous hexactinnelids. Regeneration incidences are in many ways associated with the ability of silicon-producing cells responsible for constructing skeleton-generating elements, spicules, to transform, to rearrange their functions in response to the changes of the organism position on the substrate surface and/or upon the changes of the aquatic environment parameters.

During long-term operation of oil and gas fields in the groundwater on their territory are formed hydrogeochemical anomalies expressed primarily chlorellaman type chemical composition, typical of the zone of active water exchange. The formation of the chemical composition of groundwater is influenced by many factors, both natural and manmade.
