The results of a comprehensive study of the Lower–Upper Ypresian boundary sediments at the Suvlu-Kaya Mountain section (Bakhchisarai region, Southwestern Crimea) are presented.

The sediments were formed on a deep shelf with depths at and below the storm wave base. It has been established that the Ypresian transgression was developed gradually, in three stages, with the maximum a
