Journal: Moscow University Geology Bulletin
Year: 2020

Geochemical studies of Sarmatian clay and siltstone of the Kerch Strait and Taman Peninsula were carried out for the first time in order to identify the paleogeographic features of sedimentation. Based on the results of the interpretation of the geochemical data, the curves of paleosalinity and paleobathymetry of the Yenikale Strait in the eastern part of the Paratethys Ocean were determined. Two regressive (Early Sarmatian; from the middle of the Late Sarmatian) and two transgressive (Middle an
