Представлены результаты детального анализа особенностей микростроения, гранулометрических (42 образца) и минералогических (24 образца) составов разных слоев в толще нижнехвалынских шоколадных глин разрезов Средняя Ахтуба и Райгород. Разрезы расположены на противоположных сторонах Волго-Ахтубинской поймы. На основе данных, полученных с помощью лазерного дифрактометра, были рассчитаны литологические коэффициенты. Это позволило выделить семь общих для двух разрезов литотипов, каждый из которых также обладает особыми минералогическими и микроморфологическими характеристиками. Минералогические структурные особенности минералов во фракции &lt;1 мкм в каждом литотипе и количественные соотношения глинистых минералов были определены методом рентгеновской дифрактометрии. Выявлено, что наиболее глинистые литотипы характеризуются преобладанием триоктаэдрического иллита над смектитом. Обратная ситуация наблюдается в алевритовых литотипах, где смектит преобладал над диоктаэдрическим иллитом. Набухающие компоненты были представлены высокозарядным бейделлитом в разрезе Средняя Ахтуба и высокозарядным монтмориллонитом в разрезе Райгород. Такие различия в соотношении и структуре глинистых минералов могут быть обусловлены разными источниками сноса или их различными синседиментационными или диагенетическими преобразованиями. Микроморфологические данные позволили установить биогенные текстуры в глинистых литотипах нижнехвалынских шоколадных глин. В алевритовых литотипах определены косая слоистость и углистое органическое вещество, что позволяет предполагать близость зоны их седиментации к береговой линии. Полученные материалы позволили показать сложный состав отдельных слоев толщи шоколадных глин и определить новые направления в изучении их генетических особенностей. Исследования отдельных литотипов нижнехвалынских шоколадных глин с детальной привязкой к глубинам проведены впервые.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Chocolate clays are polyfacial marine sediments of disputable genesis, widely distributed in the Lower Volga region. We present the results of detailed analysis of microstructure features, granulometric (42 samples) and mineralogical (24 samples) compositions of different layers in the thickness of the Lower Khvalynian chocolate clays of the Srednyaya Akhtuba and Raygorod sections. The sections are located on opposite sides of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain. Based on the data obtained with a laser diffractometer, lithological coefficients were calculated. This allowed us to distinguish seven lithotypes common to the two sections, each of which also has specific mineralogical and micromorphological characteristics. The mineralogical structural features of minerals in the &lt;1 μm fraction in each lithotype and the quantitative ratios of clay minerals were determined by X-ray diffractometry. It was revealed that the most clayey lithotypes are characterized by the predominance of trioctahedral illite over smectite. The opposite situation was observed in the silty lithotypes, where smectite predominated over dioctahedral illite. The swelling components were represented by highly charged beidellite in the Srednyaya Akhtuba section and highly charged montmorillonite in the Raygorod section. Such differences in the ratio and structure of clay minerals may be caused by different sources of drift or by their different synsedimentation or diagenetic transformations. Micromorphological data allowed us to establish biogenic textures in the clay lithotypes of the Lower Khvalynian Chocolate clays. In silty lithotypes, oblique layering and carbonaceous organic matter were determined, which suggests the proximity of their sedimentation zone to the coastline. The obtained materials made it possible to show the complex composition of individual layers of the chocolate clay sequence and determine new directions in the study of their genetic features. Studies of individual lithotypes of the Lower Khvalynian chocolate clays with a detailed reference to the depths were carried out for the first time.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>литотипы</kwd><kwd>глинистая минералогия</kwd><kwd>литология</kwd><kwd>количественный анализ</kwd><kwd>микроморфология</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>lithotypes</kwd><kwd>clay mineralogy</kwd><kwd>lithology</kwd><kwd>quantitative analysis</kwd><kwd>micromorphology</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">A.V.
