Abstract
Abstract —The age of the Turga Formation in the Middendorf’s outcrop is determined as latest Barremian–earliest Aptian based on fauna and microfossil assemblages. The composition of the fauna and palynomorph assemblages allows correlations between the Turga Formation and the Yixian Formation and lower part of the Jiufotang Formation of Northeast China. Results of the petrographic and geochemical analysis as well as microfossil studies showed that sediments accumulated in a shallow lake with low-energy hydrodynamics, sometimes under low-oxygen conditions. Climate features (warm temperate climate transitional to subtropical) and type of vegetation (coniferous forests with admixture of hardwoods) are reconstructed taking into consideration the composition of spore-pollen assemblages.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original reports of theoretical and methodological nature in the fields of geology, geophysics, and geochemistry, which contain data on composition and structure of the Earth''s crust and mantle, describes processes of formation and general regularities of commercial mineral occurrences, investigations on development and application of geological-geophysical methods for their revealing. As to works of regional nature, accelerated publication are available for original papers on a variety of problems of comparative geology taking into account specific character of Siberia, adjacent Asian countries and water areas. The journal will also publish reviews, critical articles, chronicle of the most important scientific events, and advertisements.
