Abstract

The stratigraphy of the Kerch-Taman region has been refined by the foraminiferal assemblages from the clay pulp of the Semigorsky, Andrusova, and Borukh-Oba mud volcanoes. By comparison with the fauna from the reference section of the Paleogene along the river Belaya (Republic of Adygea) deposits of the Middle Eocene (Circassian, Kuma formations of the Lutetian and Bartonian) were revealed. Deposits of lower Oligocene (Pshekh Formation, Rupelian Stage), confirmed by finds of remains of pteropods. Middle Miocene (Konkian and Sarmatian stages of the Eastern Paratethys regional scale of the Miocene) were revealed too. Cretaceous deposits (Semigorsky volcano) belong to the late Campanian - Maastrichtian.
