Abstract
Abstract —The origin and biostratigraphic constraints of the Krestyakh conglomerate remain among most controversial issues in the Late Paleozoic history of the Northern Kharaulakh basin. The Krestyakh conglomerate is a sequence of coarse sand to pebble-size sediments at the base of the Late Paleozoic Verkhoyansk clastic complex. According to geological, lithological, and sedimentation data, the Krestyakh conglomerate in the Atyrdakh Formation is composed of debrites i.e., deposits carried by debris flows that fill submarine canyons. The Verkhoyansk clastic deposition began at the middle Visean stage of the Early Carboniferous.
