Correlation of regional stage of the neogene of the Central and Eastern Paratethys (Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) with the International stratigraphic chart

Abstract

Using integral methodical basis (bio, litho, cyclo- magnetostratigraphy), the authors prove the validity of the correlations Paratethys. The detailed analysis of the microplankton occurrence (plankton foraminifers, nannoplankton, dinocysts) in the Neogene sediments of the Central and Eastern Paratethys, new data obtained during the drilling of the Azov-Black Sea area, allowed to prove and establish the boundaries of the Neogene 10 associations of marine plankton (correlation levels). Besides biostratigraphic used sedimentological, seismic-, cyclo-, magnetostratigraphic, tectonic, morphostructural criteria. The influence of the structure on the stratigraphic manifestations of volcanism are analyzed, particularly mud. As a result were proved and the boundaries and scope of regional, local (installed diachronism) Neogene units of the Central and Eastern Paratethys within Ukraine. Correlation with coeval units of Neogene sediments Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, South Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, as well as with the international stratigraphic scale. 
 Interregional stratigraphic scale of the Neogene sediments of the Central and Eastern Paratethys Ukraine are presented.
