One weekend in April 2015. together with Sergey Izofatov (izofatov) we made a sortie around the outskirts of Krasnoyarsk. The main goal: to see the layering of hills, many of which look like heap hills. Currently, there are no mines and open-pit mining around the city. And according to Sergei - this layering is nothing more than traces of the ancient industrial mining of rare earth metals, or rather the processing of soil and the extraction of metals from this soil in the floodplains of rivers and reservoirs.
We started the excursion at the foot of Pokrovskaya Gora:
Pokrovskaya mountain in autumn.
It turns out that near the building of Rostelecom-ETK on the street. Kachinskaya has a spring:
It was a cloudy day, so the quality of my photos is not high.
Promotional video:
The rocks from which the spring flows are composed of limestone structures.
But if you want to crumble, they turn out to be very hard.
The porosity of the rock with inclusions of iron oxides is visible
The Kacha River flows nearby:
A shallow river, within the city limits, is "dressed" in concrete banks. Even in high water, the channel is only 2/3 or half full.
But it happened that it was poured along with the Yenisei on this scale:
And in 2005. similar happened too.
We moved to the foot of Pokrovskaya Gora, where a few years ago the builders cut the slope (it was planned to build a gas station).
Layered rock of the mountain.
Mountain slopes. It can be called a mountain conditionally, because such a steep slope only on the south side. The northern one is tilted, but it allowed the formation of private buildings there in Pokrovka.
Through the entire southern slope of the mountain there is a kind of "fence" of white limestone rock. In some places it is sprinkled with clay, in some places it is quite high.
At the top is the Paraskeva Pyatnitsa chapel with a viewing platform.
But back to the layers that make up the mountain:
Sergey Izofatov is convinced that this is precisely the stage-by-stage processing of soil from the Kacha River delta by our ancient ancestors, Gods, or someone else (he tends to the latter). Therefore, there are so many silt-carbonate masses in the rock structure. Official geological information is deposits of millions of years ago. But the layers do look like an interesting formation. Moreover, they are on the surface and under a thin layer of clay and soil.
Breed structure (strong).
Limestone in the rock structure.
Fragment from a limestone layer.
A "fence" of this limestone rock is visible on the slope
Then we moved to the place of the interchange under construction in the area of Bryanskaya - 2nd Bryanskaya streets:
Link to the map.
This is a view from the place towards the railway road.
The excavator cut a section of the slope. Such layers were visible in the clay masses. As a lover of any geological formations, I saw this for the first time: dozens of layers of 203 types of color shades, moreover, of uniform thickness. How it could have formed in the clay is unclear.
Then we moved past the Drokinskaya mountain:
Link to the map.
The mountain is a high semicircle in the form of a claw. Also next to the Kacha river.
View from the mountain to the neighboring hills. Against the background of the plains they look like waste heaps.
The cut of the slope near the mountain is also layered
Link to the map.
Nearby is a 450m section of the straight course of the Kacha river. But nature does not tolerate straight lines.
Then we drove towards Elite village:
And in one of the spontaneous quarries of such a hill, all the same layered limestone-carbonate layers were found.
This is a cut by the road towards the station. Kacha.
One more quarry for the item Elita.
Some layers are somehow mixed.
Clay with iron oxides and limescale inclusions.
Lime is dissolved by melt water.
In nature and in other places, there are layered hills:
Also by the river.
If we leave the version of S. Izofatov, but do not dwell on the official information about the origin of these layers, I have two more versions of their origin.
First. These are traces of the once gigantic cataclysms on Earth. Perhaps up to a person. Layers are sediments from a water-mudflow flood. The waters with silt left gradually, passing through the territory and leaving different layers of sediments. But there is no way to explain their abrupt transition from one to the other.
Or the second option - huge water flows washed out sedimentary layers and formed such layered sections of rocks along river valleys.
Second. In the documentary film Young Planet Earth, there is a mention of one experiment when an electric voltage was connected to a jar of sand and water. The rock was decomposed into layers. It is possible that atmospheric electricity acts on the rocks and slow electrolysis occurs. The previously homogeneous rock breaks down into layers.
The film was created from the standpoint of creationists, but the facts are quite interesting, removing millions of years in eras and reducing them hundreds, or even thousands of times.
Take a look at these fossils. Why did they not all rot away, did not decompose after their death, but remained as if they were asleep? Yes, because they were all thrown out by a giant wave onto land, which turned into a mudflow. When the water left, they remained under a layer of silt and sand. Without access to oxygen, they were mothballed under the soil. We find them in their original form.
Without access to oxygen, plant remains turn to stone just as quickly, turning into brown coal.
It is quite possible that such processes were (or are still going on) in the salt layers:
