Biography

He was born on August 27 ( September 8 ), 1892 ^[2] , in the Nalchik settlement ( Terek region , Russian Empire) into a peasant family.

He began working in the Geological Committee under the leadership of A.P. Gerasimov - a collector on expeditions (1914-1918), a research fellow (from January 1, 1919). He worked in the Central Caucasus (1920, 1923-1929), on the Kola Peninsula (1921-1922). In 1932 he was the head of the Roki expedition TsNIGRI ( Roki tunnel ).

He participated in the preparation and excursions of the 17th session of the International Geological Congress (USSR, 1937).

At the same time he lectured on mineralogy at the Mining Institute (1920-1922; 1930-1932).

In 1937-1939 - professor of geology at the Pedagogical Institute in the city of Ordzhonikidze .

Since 1939, he worked as a senior researcher at the Institute of Geological Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences, took part in the Caucasian expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences .

Since 1923, he conducted annual field research in the Caucasus ^[3] :

made the first detailed subdivision of Mesozoic shales on the southern slope of the Main Caucasus Range (Lower Jurassic);
proved the Precambrian age of part of the metamorphic rocks of the Dzirul massif and gneisses of the Central and Western Caucasus;
developed the tectonic structure of the Caucasus;
clarified the stratigraphic diagram of geosynclinal deposits of the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus Range , identified the Lower Cretaceous flysch and carbonate deposits of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous .

He discovered and described (1925) a new mineral - loparite ^[4] .

He died on June 9, 1946 in Moscow.
