Morphological and geochemical properties of row of minerals — terrigenic components of dark sands of north-western coast of Sea of Azov are studied with the use of electronic-probe analysis on the example of ilmenite-zircon mineral deposit in the Primorsk district. The considerable morphological and geochemical variety of separate mineral kinds, conditioned by features of their genesis and geochemical history, is set. Some rare minerals which before were not known in this region and row of crystalline anthropogenic matters are found out and investigated. Findings are basis for the differentiated estimation of sources and ways of receipt of terrigenic material to the different areas of coast of Azov sea.
