Stratigraphic Subdivision of the Paleogenesediments of the Central Kyzylkums

Abstract

This article is the result of a study of the subdivisionofPaleogene sediments by foraminifera, bivalves and nannoplankton of the Central Kyzylkums.

The relevance of these works is explained by the fact that the Paleogene sediments due to poverty of their faunal remains did not have sufficient paleontological substantiation.

The need for stratigraphic subdivisionof the Paleogene sediments of the Central Kyzylkums is dictated by the fact that the current state of validity of their subdivisionand correlation does not provide the necessary accuracy with the International Stratigraphic Scale.
