Journal: Geomorphology RAS
Year: 2015

The structure is analyzed of loess rock mass that builds up the top of the section near Georgievskoye village on Kerch Peninsular. The author supposes the alluvium-lagoon genesis of this rock mass. Typical marine Karangad deposits in the bottom of the section correspond to one of the first transgressive phase of the Black Sea. The consequent maximum transgression (Karangad) up to 15-20 m marks many shores of the Black Sea as lagoon-transgressive terraces and correlated river embouchment terraces
