Аннотация:Interstitial fibrous-matted micron-scale aggregates of few-layered graphene nano-flakes, multilayeredcarbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and fullerenoids have been found between quartz and potassium feldspargrains of slag-like high temperature and shock-metamorphosed rocks (polymictous sandstones) of theDzharakuduk area (Kyzyl-Kum Desert, Uzbekistan). This is the first finding of few-layered graphene nanoflakes as well as multi-layered carbon nanotubes (with ~10 Å inner diameters) and their assemblages as mineral component of natural rocks. Amount of layers in natural few-layered graphene nano-flakes varied from 19 to 45. Mechanisms of few-layered graphene nano-flakes generation in natural rocks are discussed.
