Находки ростовых взаимоотношений бадделеита и циркона редки, они обусловлены существенными различиями в условиях образования этих минералов. При метаморфизме и воздействии на породу флюидов, привносящих кремнезем, возможно реакционное замещение (от частичного до полного) бадделеита цирконом. Противоположная ситуация, когда циркон замещается бадделеитом, чрезвычайно редко встречается в природе. Установлено преобразование циркона из полиминерального рудопроявления Ичетъю (Средний Тиман) с образованием микроагрегатов бадделеита, рутила и флоренсита. Размер самых крупных выделений бадделеита не превышает 10 мкм в поперечнике. Микроагрегаты неравномерно приурочены к кайме циркона толщиной от 10 до 50 мкм, пустотам и трещинам, пронизывающим зерно. Преобразованная кайма циркона (смесь новообразованных минералов) отличается резко повышенным содержанием REE (особенно LREE), Y, Nb, Ca, Ti. Содержание Th и U также увеличивается. Обзор экспериментальных исследований по реакционным взаимоотношениям циркона и бадделеита и единичных природных аналогов позволяет сделать заключение, что наиболее вероятным механизмом преобразования циркона из рудопроявления Ичетъю в бадделеит в срастаниях с рутилом и флоренситом было воздействие на циркон высокотемпературных (не менее 500–600°C) щелочных флюидов, транспортирующих высокозарядные элементы (REE, Y, Nb, Ti). Косвенно это подтверждается находками циркона с аномально высоким содержанием Y и REE до 100000 и 70000 ppm соответственно.

К л ю ч е в ы е с л о в а: циркон, бадделеит, рудопроявление Ичетъю, Средний Тиман.

Findings of the growth relationships between baddeleyite and zircon are rare, due to significant differences in the formation conditions of the minerals. A reaction replacement (partial to complete) of baddeleyite by zircon is possible during metamorphism accompanied by the interaction with high-Si fluids. The opposite situation, when zircon is replaced by baddeleyite, is extremely rare in the nature. Transformation of zircon from polymineral (compound) ore occurrence Ichetju (the Middle Timan) with the formation of microaggregates of baddeleyite, rutile and florencite has been found out. The size of the largest segregations of baddeleyite does not exceed 10 microns in diameter. Microaggregates are unevenly related to the rim of zircon with a thickness of 10 to 50 µm, voids and cracks across the grain. Altered zircon rim (a mixture of newly formed minerals) is characterized by sharply increased composition of REE (especially LREE), Y, Nb, Ca, Ti. The composition of Th and U also increases. An overview of the experimental studies on the reaction between zircon and baddeleyite and single natural analogues allows to make a conclusion that the most likely mechanism of the transformation of zircon from ore occurrence Ichetju to baddeleyite (intergrowth with rutile and florencite) is due to  the effect of interaction of primary zircon with high-temperature (higher than 500–600°C) alkaline fluids transporting HFSE (REE, Y, Nb, Ti). This is indirectly confirmed by the findings of zircon with anomalous high composition of Y and REE up to 100000 and 70000 ppm respectively .

K e y w o r d s: zircon; baddeleyite; Ichetju ore occurrence; the Middle Timan.

 From the resume (including as well the title of the paper) in general it should be clear, what things have been investigated and where, what methods have been used, what concrete results have been obtained, and (if it is possible) what general conclusions have derived from that results. For methodical papers it is necessary to give a clear and definite description of methods.

The paper should be well-structured and include next sections: introduction (the word «Introduction» is not written), materials and methods, results, their discussions (can be merged with the Results section), conclusion (not separated from the previous text and without special subtitle), List of literature. The subtitles are typed with the capital letter, without dot at the end (semi-bold font). The arbitrary structure is possible for theoretical and overview papers, but they also should contain resume and keywords. The pages should be enumerated (the positions of the numbers – footer, in the middle of the page).

The information on the financial support of the work is provided before the List of literature in the next formulation: «The investigation has been made with the financial support of (name of organization) (project № 00-00-0000).

It is not allowed to illustrate the same information in the table form and in figures. Figures and photographs captures, providing the explanation of symbols, should be given not on the illustration, but in the end of the manuscript on the separate page, or in the separate file. They should be comprehend and informative without reading of the paper. Figures and tables should have sequential number (enumeration), which is given in the reference to them in the body of the text (for example, Fig. 1, Table. 2). When there is only one figure (or one table), in the reference the word «Figure» or «Table» is not reduced and given without enumeration.

The figures should be sharp, in color and gray scale modes, constructed with any computer graphic software (Photoshop, CorelDraw, etc). The figures should be given also in the pdf-format. The corresponding files should be named as a file for all paper with addition of the word «fig» and «table» and number, matching the enumeration of them in the paper.

The inclusion of the figures, tables and photographs in the body of manuscript is not allowed.

Pixel resolution of the photographs should provide clearness of the details (minimal resolution is 300 dpi).Tables and figures are printed on the separate pages in the end of the manuscript after the information of the authors.

Some features of the paper texts

The dimension of all the values, used in the paper, should satisfy the International system of measurement units (SI), e.g., m – metre, kg – kilogram, min. – minute, etc. https://www.dpva.ru/Guide/GuideUnitsAlphabets/GuideUnitsAlphabets/SIRFEU/

The using of abbreviations of words or names are not allowed, besides the standard abbreviations of the measures, physical, chemical and mathematical values, names, terms, etc. The using of measures and values should be given according to the GOST standard.

In the decimal fractions the integer part is separated from the decimal part with a comma.

The only «direct» quotation-marks are allowed in a text.

The numbers up to the ten (including) are spelled by words. The percent mark (%) is not separated by space from the value (e.g., 50%).

Between the numbers there is a dash without spaces, e.g., 1–3 km.

Chemical compounds should be specified according to the nomenclature recommended by IUPAC (1979). Instead of the names of simple substances, it is allowed to use their formula, for example, sodium chloride – NaCl, carbon dioxide – CO₂, etc. All other non-standard abbreviations should be explained in the text at the first mention.

When describing paleontological objects, Latin names of taxa of species and generic rank are written in italics, in the names of zones and other stratigraphic units – in normal font. Names of authors of species are also written in normal font. The order of the description of taxa and how to cast types, see. rules of the «Paleontological journal» (http://www.maik.ru/ru/journal/palrus/#guid).
