The Paleogene in the southern part of Karagin Island (Eastern Kamchatka) |
| |
| Abstract: | On the basis of foraminifers In the section through the Cenozoic deposits of Karagin Island, we distinguish the Eocene (the Cape Tons and Mt. Peresheyek suites), Oligocene (the Il'khatun suite and the Laternula sandstones), and Miocene deposits and describe their paleontological characteristics. We identify 18 assemblages of foraminifera, correlating the Paleogene deposits on Karagin Island with the synchronous deposits to Japan and California. The Cape Tons and Mt. Peresbeyek suites are correlated with the Sakasegawa and Poronai formations in Japan and with deposits of the Narizian and Refugian stages to California. —Authors. |
