Foraminifera from Clay Pulp of the Semigorsky, Andrusov, and Borukh-Oba Mud Volcanoes in the Kerch–Taman Region

The stratigraphy of the Kerch–Taman region has been refined based on foraminiferal assemblages from the clay pulp of the Semigorsky, Andrusov, and Borukh-Oba mud volcanoes.

Description
Summary:The stratigraphy of the Kerch–Taman region has been refined based on foraminiferal assemblages from the clay pulp of the Semigorsky, Andrusov, and Borukh-Oba mud volcanoes. Comparison with the fauna from the reference section of the Paleogene along the Belaya River (Republic of Adygea) enabled us to reveal deposits of the Middle Eocene (Cherkessk and Kuma formations of the Lutetian and Bartonian stages); Lower Oligocene (Pshekha Formation, Rupelian Stage), confirmed by finds of remains of pteropods; and Middle Miocene (Konkian and Sarmatian stages of the Eastern Paratethys regional scale of the Miocene). Cretaceous deposits (Semigorsky Volcano) are attributed to the Late Campanian–Maastrichtian.
