On the relationship between recent tectonic processes and mud volcanism by the example of Mt. Karabetov,Taman Peninsula

The results of studying the near-surface and deep structure of the mud volcano of Mt. Karabetov are presented. Based on direct observations in a specially dug trench and in the natural outcrops, together with the analysis of the structural morphological data, the structural kinematic characteristics are obtained for the fault zone associated with a mud volcano. The displacements of recent soil and overburden, as well as the topographic manifestations testify to the recent high level of mobility of the fault, whereas the natural structural parageneses suggest the primarily tectonic nature of the displacements, which is determined by the regional stress field.     

Subvolcanic bodies of the Bodrak Complex in the Southwestern Crimea: Structure,composition, and formation conditions

The structure and composition of three subvolcanic bodies of the Bodrak Complex are considered in detail. The data on their petrography and results of microprobe and chemical analyses are presented. We arrived at a conclusion about the comagmatic relations of two bodies and established different depths of their formation. The chemical composition of olivine in rocks of the Bodrak Complex was determined for the first time with a microprobe. By their chemical composition, the rocks are related to the island-arc tholeiitic series.
