Lithology, Biostratigraphy, and Geochronology of the Late Pleistocene–Holocene Sediments on the Coast of Onega Bay of the White Sea

Resumo

This paper reports on the lithological, micropaleontological, and chronometric data (radiocarbon dating) for one of the areas of the White Sea coast. The sedimentary sequences were studied in the current lake basins, which were separated from the large basin at different times. The basin was situated in the head of the current Onega Bay. On the basis of these data, the bottom sediments were stratified and the Late Pleistocene–Holocene paleogeographic settings were reconstructed for the southeastern part of Onega Bay.
