Генезис баритов впадины Дерюгина (Охотское море)

In order to reveal the genesis of barites, the authors identified content and distribution regularities of rare-earth elements in barites from the Deryugin Depression, the Sea of Okhotsk. The obtained data show that a hydrothermal component does not affect the formation of the barites. Sea water is the source of the rare-earth elements, and their composition apparently corresponds to the composition of cold sipes.
