Research results are presented into the geological history of the Black Sea’s northwestern shelf during the late Neopleistocene and Holocene. The principal goal was to reconstruct the age, character of transformation, and changes in Black Sea level and salinity focusing on the Neopleistocene-Holocene boundary using evidence from conjugate paleontological (foraminifers, ostracods, mollusks), lithological, and ecostratigraphic analyses of bottom sediments supplemented by radiocarbon dating.Samples
