Biostratygraphy of Middle Miocene - Lower Pliocene deposits of Taman Peninsular according to ostracodes
At the first the local biostratigraphic subdivisions according to ostracoses (Complex-Zone, Eco-Zone, Acme-Zone, layers of ostracodes) were separated in the Middle Miocene-Pliocene deposits of the TamanskyPeninsula (key-sections "cape Popov Stone", "cape Panagia", "cape Zhelezniy Rog", "village Taman"). There are layers with Leptocythere bosqueti, Cyprideis torosa, Pontocytheresp., Loxoconchasp. (Middle Sarmatian), layers with Caspiocypris labiate, Bacunella dorsoarcuata (Upper Sarmatian), Complex-Zone Pontoleberis laevis-Loxoconcha immodulata-Candona expressa (Lower Maeotian), Eco-Zone and Lower Acme-Zone Camptocypria acronasuta-Caspiocypris labiata-Pontoniella acuminata-Bacunella dorsoarcuata (the base of Lower Maeotian), Complex-Zone Leptocythere polymorpha-Cytheridea burdigali-Mediocythereis fossata (Upper Maeotian), Acme-Zone Cyprideis torosa (the base of Upper Maeotian), layers with Leptocythere praetbaquana, L. crebra, L. plana, L.. mironovi, L. polymorpha, Loxoconcha immodulata, L. babazananica, Cyprideis torosa (Lower Pontian, Novorosyjsky horizont), Upper Acme-Zone Caspiolla acronasuta-Caspiocypris labiatta-Pontoniella acuminata-Bacunella dorsoarcuata (Upper Pontian, Bosphorsky horizont), Complex-Zone Leptocythere bosqueti-Pontoleberis laevis (Lower Kimerian).
