Abstract

The present article aims to provide new data on the spatial distribution and lithological features of the Paleogene lithostratigraphic units in the Goren Chiflik Horst, which is part of the Moesian Platform in Eastern Bulgaria. Eight formal Paleogene lithostratigraphic units were recognized on the basis of primary lithological data derived from 29 borehole sections. They are as follows: the Komarevo Fm. (Thanetian), the Beloslav Fm. (Ypresian), the Dikilitash Fm. (Ypresian), the Aladan Fm. (Ypresian), the Avren Fm. (uppermost Ypresian–lowermost Priabonian), the Dvoynitsa Fm. (Lutetian), the Dolni Chiflik Mb. of the Avren Fm. (Bartonian–Priabonian), and the Ruslar Fm. (Oligocene). Their spatial distribution and relationships are visualized by drawing up 11 geological cross-sections. Additional data on their lithology, thickness, boundaries and age are also given.
