Biostratigraphy of the Holocene deposits of the Azov Sea based on the results of diatom analysis

Abstract

The difference in composition of diatom flora dominant species of the Taganrog Bay with the flora that existed in the New Azov and Ancient Azov time at open part of the Azov Sea was described. It is noted that dominant at the Sea representatives of the genus Actinocyclus Ehr. are rare in the bottom sediments of the Taganrog Bay, unlike Thalassiosira incerta Makarova and T. decipiens (Grunow) E.G. Jørg., that got a massive development in there.
