On the basis of the results of studying the faunal collections of bivalves and foraminifera collected in the period of 1976-2014 in the Cape Tsvetkov region in Eastern Taimyr, the knowledge of the Pliensbachian-Aalenian part of the section of the Tsvetkov geological region is expanded. The bedding in the section is described, and a comprehensive paleontological characteristic is given. For the first time for this section, the following taxa are included in the composition of characteristic bivalve assemblages: Praemeleagrinella deleta, Siungiudella cf. parvula, Mytiloceramus (Lenoceramus) vilujensis, Mytiloceramus (Pseudomytiloides) oviformis, Oxytoma ex gr. kirinae, Arctotis (Praearctotis) similis, and Arctotis (Arctotis) tabagensis. On the basis of the use of auxiliary biostratigraphic subdivisions-beds with bivalves and F-zones based on foraminifera-the section is correlated with the standard boreal ammonite scale. The age of the local stratigraphic units of the Eastern Taimyr structural-facies zone is refined. The Kiterbyutskaya Formation is considered within the Tiltoniceras antiquum-Dactylioceras commune zones, the Korotkinskaya Formation is considered within the Dactylioceras commune-Pseudolioceras falcodiscus zones, and the Aprelevskaya Formation is considered within the Pseudolioceras maclintocki Zone. For the first time, images of the leading species of bivalves are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
