PROBLEMS OF STRATIGRAPHY OF THE MAYKOP (OLIGOCEN-LOWER-MOST PRICE) SEDIMENTS OF THE NORTH CAUCASUS
The problems and controversial issues of stratigraphy of the Maykop (Oligocene-Lower Miocene) deposits of the North Caucasus are considered: stratigraphic terminology; the boundary position of the Paleogene and Neogene systems; the reliability of the boundaries of structural-facies zones and the correlation of adjacent columns on stratigraphic schemes of Maykop deposits in the North Caucasus. The recommendations of the authors on solving these problems are given.
