pdf Upper Devonian - Lower Carboniferous key sequence on the Talota river, Timan-Pechora province - results of lithologic, biostratigraphic and paleomagnetic researches
The results of complex studying the Upper Devonian - Lower Carboniferous key sequence on the Talota river (north of the Vashutkino-Talota zone of overthrusts, Timan-Pechora province) are presented. The tectonic twinning of the sequence on the zone of overthrusts is proved by biostratigraphy data. The parautochthonous and allochthonous parts of the sequence are dated by foraminifera and conodonts. The first part contains Early Famenian-Late Visean deposits, the second part - Late Famenian-Serpukhovsk deposits. Breaks in sedimentations are established in the Lower Tournaisian and Lower Visean. The presence of an ancient secondary prefolded component of magnetization, confined to the definite parts of the sequence and caused by tectonic and hypergene processes, is established. The direction of this magnetization allowed reconstructing the prefolded (Middle Paleozoic) position of the allochthone and parautochthone.
Key words: Upper Devonian, Lower Carboniferous, key sequence, Timan-Pechora province, stratigraphy, paleomagnetology, tectonics.
