Hydrothermal formations of pervenets rise (the Sea of Japan)

The data are given on the structure, chemical composition, and content of microelements in the ferromanganese and siliceous crusts of Pervenets Rise (the Sea of Japan). The crusts resulted from the cementation of small fragments of green clays (celadonite) with hydroxides of manganese (todorokite and birnessite) or silica. Initial was the formation of celadonite deposited during the eruption of ore-bearing hydrothermal solutions in the volcano caldera or on its slopes.The features of the crust structure show that they were originated through the diffusive infiltration of gas-hydrothermal solutions along the fractures or weakened zones in volcanic rocks and subsequent cementation of the celadonite already formed occurrences with manganese or siliceous oxides. The manganese and siliceous mineralization is separated in time and often in space and demonstrate more local distribution.
