THE ZONALITY OF ILMENITE BATTERIES WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE IRSHAN BATTLE FIELD OF THE UKRAINIAN SHIELD

World-class titanium and titanium-zirconium placer deposits are located on the territory of Ukraine. They form Ukrainian sub-province province Eastern Europe. It also includes Irshansky field for development short-lived ilmenite placers. The article presents results research spatial ratio placers root sources, vertical horizontal zonation material composition 9 detailed sections. This allows us to identify additional criteria establishing genesis placers, which is important when conducting paleogeographic paleogeomorphological work. main sources were mainly stratum bodies various thicknesses, independent structures or elements now destroyed domed foundation. indigenous in plan coincide completely, partially, do not coincide. criterion coincidence indicates that useful component from moved a distance several hundred meters. Loose contained sediments Poltava suite formation Late oligocene-Middle miocene age eluvial, eluvial-deluvial, deluvial, deluvial-alluvial, proluvial alluvial by genesis. Paleorelief was then favorable preservation as primary concentrations their enrichment. Ilmenite formed all hypsometric levels ancient relief, but most significant them at lower level (in bottoms slopes valleys). analyzes granulometric chemical monofraction sediment-containing studied combination with other data (structural-tectonic, paleogeomorphological). Analyses selected interval testing Based processing, quantitative indicators characterizing particle size distribution calculated. Their study made it possible different types sections contribution (8 – according granulometry, 10 change ilmenite), zonality, allowing solving problems (paleogeomorphological reconstructions, consedimentary structures, location detection tectonic inversions).
