Propagation, morphology and mineral composition of the main systems of modern water-chemogenic mineral formation in the Crimea is investigated. The features of this process in the salt lakes, mud volcanoes, caverns and in areas of chemical weathering of volcanic rocks of Cape Fiolent are reviewed. In the composition of modern exogenous polymineral formations there are 38 mineral types.
