Russia, Subpolar Ural, Kozhim river valley. White, light gray marbled limestones. Include microlayers of quartz-mica composition, the content of quartz grains in them sometimes reaches 30–35%. Under the microscope of the rock, a granoblastic structure with relics of an uneven-grained - blastopsammite and blastoaleurite is found; layered, banded texture and consist of a calcite heterogeneous aggregate (70–99%) with intercalations of quartz grains (up to 25%) and microlayers of carbonaceous-chlorite-sericite, muscovite-chlorite composition.

Russia, Magadan region, left side of the Duck river. Quartz-albite diorite porphyrite with quartz-albite veins. These are the famous Ducks dykes. Dyke №7. The dyke is a slab-like body with a capacity of 0.5 m in the East to 3.5 m in the West, accompanied by apophyses that run parallel to the sedimentary rocks (lower Jurassic siltstone). It is traced to a depth of 250 meters. Xenoliths are rare. Sometimes there are intersecting, until the disappearance of dykes.
