| Abstract: | The Chaudian sediments composing the Pekla and Tuzla sections are characterized by a variable lithology and transgressive structure. Their basal part is mainly composed of coarse terrigenous varieties with diverse structures indicating different depositional settings in the accumulation zone (shelf and upper part of the submarine slope). These sediments are characterized by strong lithification probably in subaerial environments under the influence of atmospheric precipitation. The Chaudian basin was a large brackish-water depression populated by malacofauna of the Caspian type. |
