NANNOPLANKTON FROM PALEOGENE DEPOSITS IN EASTERN KAMCHATKA

Abstract

A detailed study of the Paleogene terrigenous-tuffogenic beds on Kronotskii Peninsula, Govena Peninsula, and in Karaginskii Island and the Komandor Islands has revealed several levels of nannoplankton occurrences, which allowed their correlation with the standard nannoplankton zonation. Therefore, not only was the principle of applicability of the group to the stratigraphy of the region established, but also the age of some of the beds, previously considered to be barren.
