Reconstructions of the late Paleozoic topography of the easter flank of the Tungus syneclise (Malo-Botuobinsky and Morkokinsky diamond regions)

Abstract

Methods developed by the authors were applied to reconstruct the Late Paleozoic buried topography on the eastern flank of the Tungus syneclise (where two diamond regions of Western Yakutia are located: MaloBotuobinsky and Morkokinsky). Principal types of tectonic distortions are identified which changed the primary appearance of the Late Paleozoic surface. The compilation of maps of reconstructed topography is a stage in the course of search and prospecting for diamonds in covered regions.
