Diamond potential of the lower carboniferous deposits on the western part of the Siberian platform

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the fundamental problem of identifying the role of lithological and paleogeographic settings on ancient platforms during the development of diamond-forming systems at the turn of the Middle Paleozoic (D3–C1) tectonic and magmatic reconstruction. The main focus was on the stratigraphy of the Carboniferous (Mississippian) deposits, the paleogeographic conditions of their accumulation, and their diamond-bearing reservoirs. The lithological and paleogeographic maps provided in this article show the locations of the sedimentary basins and other landscape zones, which allow the identification of demolition areas of terrigenous materials and delineate attractive areas for diamond prospecting activity.
Supporting agencies: This study was carried out within the framework of the state assignment to the IEC SB RAS (number 075-01434-23-00, dated 29.12.2022).
