The object of our research is the Kazantip Cape (Kerch Peninsula, Crimea). Its attraction is a ring-shaped rock massif composed of bryozoans previously considered to be a reef structure growing on the limbs of rising brachyanticline about 8 million years ago. Application of complex of investigating methods show that clay deposits underlying bryozoan structure are composed of expandable mixed-layered minerals, smectite, kaolinite, chlorite, illite with accessory minerals (zircon, monazite, ilmenite). These clays are the result of eruption of fossilized analogue of mud volcano. This process was accompanied by unloading of cold gas-fluid seepage. Specific mineralization (barite, celestine, strontianite, authigenic minerals of rare-earth elements and manganese) of bryozoan’s bioherms indicates that the seep process continued even after the waning of mud volcanism.

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) technique was used to investigate the abundance and distribution of rare earth elements (REE) in soil around Kaduna Refinery. The aim of the study is to assess the rare elements potential of Nigeria for economic exploitation. Five REEs (La, Dy, Eu, Yb, and Lu) were detected in varying concentrations ranging from a minimum of 0.6 µg/g (Lu) to a maximum of 249.0 µg/g (La). The elements existed with trends consistent with the natural pattern of REEs in soil, showing significant Eu and Dy anomalies which characterize upper plains and flood plains. The levels of REEs in soil in the study area were generally slightly above background levels, with minimal (La, Dy, and Eu), moderate (Yb), and significant (Lu) enrichments and trending: Lu ˃Yb ˃ Eu ˃ Dy ˃ La. The abundance of the REEs investigated cannot establish a potential of Nigeria for economic exploitation of the mineral, hence, rare earth project in the study area is not viable at the moment.
