Results of the reconnaissance magnetostratigraphic studies of Paleocene in the southern part of the Saratov right bank

Abstract

The results of rock-magnetic and paleomagnetic studies of two sections of the Lower Syzran subformation (Paleocene) of the Saratov Right Bank – the Syrt Mountain (Nizhnyaya Bannovka village) and Lysaya Gora (Saratov city) are presented. For the first time the possibility of obtaining paleomagnetic data on the Paleocene of the Volga region and their use for magnetostratigraphic purposes despite the partial remagnetization of rocks has been established. The prospects of using rock-magnetic characteristics of deposits for detailed correlations of sections and sedimentological reconstructions are demonstrated.
