Principles and some methodical problems of compilation of special geomorphic maps for bauxite search

Abstract

Principles of special geomorphic mapping for bauxite search as introduced by V. F. Filatov, Yu. K. Loskutov and G. F. Kuznetsova need more precise definition, particularly of age and genesis of the mapped categories. Besides generate stages of planation and mantle development, it is necessary to determine precise age of denudational topography which is covered with orebearing formations. Therefore it is most important to follow the relations between the denudation relief and its hypergenic mantle formation as well as to specify their genesis.
