PALEOCENE NANNOFOSSILS OF THE SOUTHERN SLOPE OF THE UKRAINIAN CARPATHIANS (VEZHANY NAPPE, LOWER METOVA SUBFORMATION)
New data concerning the spatial-temporal distribution of nannofossils in the Metova Formation of the Southern slope of the Ukrainian Carpathians are discussed. The nannozones Biantholithus sparsus-NР1 (Early Danian), Fasciculithus tympaniformis-NP5 (Selandian), Heliolithus kleinpellii-NP6 (Late Sela...

The nannozones Biantholithus sparsus-NР1 (Early Danian), Fasciculithus tympaniformis-NP5 (Selandian), Heliolithus kleinpellii-NP6 (Late Selandian), Heliolithus riedellii-NP8 (Thanetian) were recognized in the Lower Metova Subformation. The scope, boundaries and Paleocene age of the lower part of the Metova Formation of the sections in the basins of the Tereblya, Velyka and Mala Uholka rivers (Transcarpathians) have been substantiated. As a result, the stratigraphy and geological structure of the Vezhana nappe (Marmarozh rocks) of the Ukrainian Carpathians was clarified. |
