Stratigraphy and ichthyofauna of the Upper Emsian-Givetian deposits in the section of the Klimovichi 4п borehole (Mogilev region, Belarus)
Abstract
The paper presents the results of a palaeoichthyological study of the core samples from the Klimovichi 4п borehole drilled in the Klimovichi district of the Mogilev region in eastern Belarus. Based on the ichthyofauna remains, as well as on the lithological and geophysical data, a detailed stratigraphic division of the Upper Emsian-Givetian deposits exposed by the above-mentioned borehole was performed. Their detailed description is given. The ichthyofauna evidences were used to compare these deposits with the similar age sediments developed within the adjacent territories of Ukraine, Russia and the Baltic States. The data obtained on the Late Emsian-Givetian ichthyofauna supplement to a certain extent the systematic composition of this ichthyofauna within the territory of Belarus. The results presented should be taken into account in the future when a large-scale geological survey will be performed within the studied area.
