Abstract
The coal partings split into fine laminae have been first distinguished in the clay-siliceous-carbonaceous rocks of the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceou s Bazhenov Formation in the south of the West-Siberian Plate. A petrographi c analysis of the coal showed its sapropelic nature. Compared with the host rock, the coal is depleted in Cd, Zn, V, and, to a lesser extent, some oth er elements and is rich in Mo and Mn.
