The major graphic supplements include: 1) geological maps and maps of mineral resources in pre- Quaternary units together with related legend and stratigraphic columns; 2) geological maps and maps of mineral resources in Quaternary sediments with legend; 3) geological maps and maps of coal resources in pre-Mesozoic units with legend, as well as numerous schemes of geological content and small-scale maps supporting text of Explanatory Notes. The Explanatory Notes contain data on the history of geological studies in the area, stratigraphy, tectonics and geological evolution, geomorphology, hydrogeology; mineral resources and regularities in their distribution are described in details as well as their perspective assessment is given. Ecological state of geological environment is described. The lists of mineral resources and geological remnants are given. The work is devoted to the wide range of specialists related to the geological sciences as well as businessmen dealing with mineral exploration and exploitation. © L.S.Gerasimov, S.V.Chaliy, A.A.Plotnikov, I.I.Gerasimova, G.V.Polkunova, I.O.Kostyk, T.L.Evtushko, 2004 © UkrSGRI, 2004 (2010) 2 CONTENTS 0Abbreviations used in the text................................................................................................................................ 1416 1INTRODUCTION.................................................................................................................................................. 1427 21.
