FIRST FIND OF THE TOMAKOVKA BEDS IN THE GERAKLEYA PENINSULA OF SOUTHWESTERN CRIMEA

Abstract

The Tomakovka Beds first defined near the eponymous settlement of the Dnepropetrovsk region represent a reliable stratigraphic reference for the interregional correlation of Lower Miocene sections in the Eastern and Western Paratethys. They contain diverse assemblages of Mediterranean marine organisms and have been thoroughly studied.
