The petrochemistry and geochemistry of dolerites and basalts of the Late Devonian Kanin-Timan complex of the Kanin Peninsula and the Middle Timan are considered. Petrochemically, the rocks of the Kanin-Timan complex of the Kanin Peninsula and the Tsilma river area of the Middle Timan correspond to basaltoids of the normal range of alkalinity and partially to moderately alkaline varieties, and belong to the tholeiitic series. The least differentiated varieties are dolerites of the southeastern Kanin Peninsula, the most differentiated are the basalts of the river Tsilma of the Middle Timan. The lowest REE concentrations were found in the rocks of the central part of the Kanin Peninsula (36.5-56.8 g/t); in the same samples, the lowest LaN/YbN values were recorded (1.85 and 2.4, respectively), which indicates an increased degree of melting of the source. The highest REE concentrations were found in basalts from the river Tsilma (77.13-88.33 g/t), LaN/YbN values (2.49-2.7, respectively). The influence of the crustal component in the formation of melts from which rocks of the Kanin-Timan complex were formed, was established. The source of the melt was spinel-garnet lherzolite, the degree of melting varied from 10 to 30%. The maximum degree of melting was 30%, at which melts were formed, that gave rise to the least differentiated rocks of the Northern Timan and the central part of the Kanin Peninsula. The mantle source, that gave rise to the melts from which the rocks of the Kanin-Timan complex were formed, was enriched with subduction and crustal components, a similar type of source is characteristic of the basaltoids of the No-rilsk trough.

Background: The amniotic fluid is fundamental for proper fetal development and growth. Ultrasound visualization of the amniotic fluid permits both subjective and objective estimates of the amniotic fluid. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the reference values of normal single deepest pocket (SDP) – upper and lower limits, mean SDP and variation of the SDP with gestational age among Igbo women of South-Eastern Nigeria extraction carrying uncomplicated singleton pregnancy. Methodology: This was a prospective cross sectional study involving 400 women carrying uncomplicated singleton pregnancies and who were sure of the date of the first day of their last menstrual period. The single deepest pocket / maximum vertical pool were determined once at presentation at the hospital.. The study was conducted from January 1st to December 31st 2015. The second author carried out all the scanning. The SDP was obtained. Results: The womens’ mean and median ages were the same at 28 years. The gestational age range of the pregnancies was 14-41 weeks. The mean SDP was 5.8cm, while the 5th and 95th percentiles were 3.3cm and 8.5cm respectively. There was no difference in the mean SDP in both term and preterm. There was irregular but continuous rise of mean SDP to a peak of 6.8cm at gestational age of 39 weeks. In conclusion, the participants had a mean SDP of 5.8cm. There was also a positive correlation between SDP and Gestational age. We therefore recommend a longitudinal study to assess perinatal outcome and abnormal amniotic fluid volume among Igbo women of South-Eastern Nigeria. Key words: Single Deepest Pocket, Uncomplicated Singleton Pregnancy, Igbo Women.
