The temperature range of the formation of skarns suggests the melting of limestones in the heat-and-mass transfer columns of the Earth’s crust. The ontogenic analysis of structures of the carbonate rocks in some Ural skarn objects indicates the presence of bodies, which were formed from melts-fluids. According to the classification, these bodies should be termed carbonatites.
