Radial and ring-type dykes of the Ukrainian Shield

Abstract

Regularities in the distribution of radial and ring-type dykes in the structure of the Ukrainian Shield are represented. The relationship of the dykes and dyke swarms with the fault-block structures of the region crystalline basement as a part of the East European Craton is considered. It is noted that the discovered lateral regularities for the distribution of radial and ring-type dykes and dyke swarms are important for prospecting mineral deposits in the region.
