Two types of forests have been identified with indication of the dominant genera in each type: the cladoxylopsid type, common in the Middle Devonian, and the lycopodiophyte type, typical of the Upper Devonian.

The main petrogenic oxides have been identified and the normative mineral composition has been determined following this identification. The increase of terrigenous components in the strata indicates periods of enhanced erosion in the provenance area (the Yenisei Ridge). In turn, the increased contribution of feldspars in the middle part of the section shows an intensification of physical weathering in arid conditions. The principal hypotheses of the origin of the Evenki Formation and other recent and ancient tidal flat and sabkha facies are outlined. We suggest that the studied facies of the Evenki Formation accumulated mostly under intertidal and, possibly in part, under lower supratidal conditions, which alternated depending on eustatic fluctuations in the basin.
