Abstract
The study of Lower and Middle Carboniferous limestones within the eastern flank of the Melekess Depression and the South Tatar Arch allowed us to reconstruct their formation environment. Bioclastic phyto-and zoomorphic limestones occur as wide zones parallel to the shoreline. Therefore, lithogenetic typification of limestones was used for the stratification of Tournaisian and Visean deposits. Serpukhovian and Bashkirian zoogenic, clastic, and pelitomorphic limestones formed away from the shoreline. Such deposits are represented by biogenic buildups (possibly, biostromes), fan limestones, synsedimentary crushing (clastic) limestones, and interbiostrome deposits (pelitomorphic limestones). Therefore, their horizon-scale stratification is impossible.
