Summary

Interlayers and lenses of tuffites have been defined in Late Bathonian volcanogenic-sedimentary complex of the Lesser Caucasus Mesozoic volcano-plutonic belt in areola of Dashkesan ironore-magnetite deposit. They are saturated by titanium-magnetite and magnetite-hematite round-ellipsoid peas on typical texture correspond to lapilli. Ring location of latter around Dashkesan intrusive with ironore deposit and coincidence of their compositions shows their genetic connection and as a whole confinement to Dashkesan volcanic centre.
