Geological Conditions of Sandy Sarykum Barkhan Formation and Geochemical Features of Its Carbonate Deposits

Some geological and geomorphological features of the Sarykum dune in relation to the position of aeolian sand sheets and the Shura-Ozen River Valley, local windrose diagrams, theoccurrence of rock fragments and carbonate crusts in aeolian sands, and their petrography and geochemistry were studied. Conclusions on genetic formation of the dune were made.
