Klappentext

The book presents isotope-geochemical investigations of the world s largest reserves of copper, nickel, and platinum-group elements in the Norilsk ore region. Ever since its discovery, generations of geologists have been fascinated by the geology of these deposits, described as a 250 Ma magmatic formation with mafic and ultramafic layered intrusions, disseminated ore and continuous copper-nickel ore bed. The book includes the results of more than 5, 000 analyses of eleven isotopic systems, performed at the Russian Research Geological Institute s Center of Isotopic Research between 2005 and 2014.

The book is intended for specialists in isotope geology, metallogeny, ore geology and students of geology.
