Paleogene and Neogene reference sections of Eastern Kamchatka

Abstract

The available lithological and paleontological data are used to characterize key Cenozoic marine sections in two lithological–facies zones (Kamchatskii Mys Peninsula and southern Valaginskii Range) of the poorly investigated Eastern Kamchatka lithotectonic zone with their correlation and reconstruction of depositional environments at the ocean–continent transition during the Paleogene and Neogene.
