The ages of volcanic activity in the Crimea and North Caucasus are reported in this paper. The age estimation of the described ranges is based on the results of micropaleontological analysis (planktonic Foraminifera) with account for the data on other groups, mostly Ammonites and Inoceramids. Volcanic rocks are related to the Upper Albian (Thalmanninella appenninica Zone), Lower Cenomanian (Thalmanninella globotruncanoides Zone) deposits, boundary deposits of the Lower and Middle Cenomanian (Tha
