GOSUDAREV LOG REFERENCE SECTION OF THE GELASIAN AND EOPLEISTOCENE

Abstract

An integrated analysis of Quaternary deposits of the Gosudarev Log section near Krasnoyarsk was carried out. In the wall of the ancient ravine, deposits of the two highest river terraces of the Yenisei River embedded in accumulative formations of the so-called Batoisky uval [ridge] were uncovered. In the axial part of this ridge, lacustrine Eopleistocene formations overlie river gravel of the Gelasian and are overlain by subaerial cover loess-like formations. This section is proposed as a reference one for the Gelazian and Eopleistocene deposits of the extraglacial zone of the Pre-Yenisei Siberia.
