GIVETIAN DEEPWATER SEDIMENTS IN THE WESTERN SLOPE OF THE SUBPOLAR URALS

Abstract

In 1996, the author of the present paper first described and sampled macro- and microfossils in the Givetian section of deepwater sediments in the Subpolar Urals. The section outcrops in exposure 86 on the left bank of the Bol’shaya Nadota River near the western foothill of Mt. Olysya. The Givetian sediments are confined to the tectonically complicated area sandwiched between the Elets and Lemva facies that are characterized by wide development of reverse faults and thrusts.
