The Depositional Setting of the Konkian Sediments of the Taman Peninsula

Abstract

The study of the Konkian sediments of the Taman Peninsula revealed that in the clays prevailing in the section there are the two types carbonate beds (benthic microbial and planktonogenic origin). These two types of carbonate sediments have different carbon and oxygen isotope composition. The studied Konkian sediments were investigated by cyclostratigraphy methods based on magnetic susceptibility measurements. Using statistical data processing, including that of REDFIT periodograms and Wavelet analysis, cycles related to long-period insolation oscillations were revealed in the studied succession.
