“…The compositional diversity of the upper Meotian clays is caused by variations in the depositional envi ronments of the coastal and open shoals (Rostovtseva, 2009a). In the late Meotian, the basin was occupied by brackish water sedimentation settings with intermit tent seawater ingressions.…”

The pioneer compositional analysis carried out for clayey sediments from most regional Miocene stages of the Taman trough made it possible to define the main types of clays and trace their variability through the section. It is established that the composition of these clays is largely controlled by the sedimentary rather than postsedimentary lithogenetic factors. The maximal hydromica (hereafter, illite) concentrations (up to 73%) are recorded in sediments deposited during orogenesis activation and major regressions (terminal Tarkhanian, Sarmatian, and early Pontian). The dominant role and elevated concentration of the smectite component are characteristic of sediments corresponding to transgressive phases of the basin development. The shallow water sediments, which show a notable facies heterogeneity, differ from their deepwater coun terparts by a higher diversity in the clay composition. These regularities in the distribution of clay minerals may be used for the lithostratigraphic subdivision of the sequences with a lower content of the fossil mollusc assemblages.

“…The objects of cyclostratigraphic studies were the Konkian, the Maeotian and the Pontian sediments, which were exposed in key sections of the Taman Peninsula and previously studied in detail both by paleontological and paleomagnetic as well as by lithological methods (Andrusov, 1903;Trubikhin, 1989;Popov and Zastrozhnov, 1998;Filippova, 2002;Pevzner et al, 2003;Rostovtseva, 2009bRostovtseva, , 2009cVasiliev et al, 2011;Radionova et al, 2012;Popov et al, 2016). The Konkian sediments were studied in the Zelensky section, sediments of the Lower Maeotian in the Popov Kamen section, and sediments of the Upper Maeotian and Pontian in the Zhelezny Rog section.…”

“…It is known that the Eastern Paratethys became shallow and significantly desalinated at the beginning of the Late Maeotian. At that time, a large amount of fine suspended matter of river runoff entered the study part of the paleobasin (Rostovtseva, 2009c), which led to an increase in the sedimentation rate. The higher values of magnetic susceptibility of clays in the lower part of Upper Maeotian may also be related to the regressive stage noted at this time.…”

The stratigraphic scale of the Eastern Paratethys is revised based on a study of the Neogene stratotype and reference sections, their biotic characteristics, and paleomagnetic and sedimentological data. New data on the correlation of its regional subdivisions with the Central Paratethys and Mediterranean stratotypes are presented. The section "Regional Stage Scale of the Eastern Paratethys" considers the history of identification and a brief description of the horizons of the regional scale, which later became regional stages, as well as their historical stratotypes and lectostratotypes, and division into Beds and Substages. The section "History of Separate Biota Groups" provides reviews on the most important groups of fauna, phytoplankton, and terrestrial vegetation, as well as on magnetostratigraphy, the possibility of correlation and dating of sections based on these data, and comparison with the Central Paratethys and stratotypes of the Mediterranean. In conclusion, the main results of the revision of the stratigraphic scheme of the Neogene of the Eastern Paratethys are given.
