The increase of terrigenous components in the strata indicates periods of enhanced erosion in the provenance area (the Yenisei Ridge).

A detailed lithological and facies analysis of the rocks was carried out for correct interpretation of geophysical data. The following marine environments predominated in the studied area in the Early Cretaceous: coastal, shallow marine, relatively shallow shelf with active hydrodynamics; relatively deep-water shelf with low hydrodynamics. The sections show a change from shallow to deeper facies and vice versa, which allows us to conclude periodic fluctuations in sea level. The results of lithological analysis clearly indicate the predominance of shallow marine and coastal sediments in the Aptian and deeper, shelf sediments in the Albian.
