Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Sagarlyk | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: In the Late Cenozoic an almost continuous sequence of Quaternary sediments, over 150 m thick, ranging from the beginning of the Early Pleistocene to the Holocene, was accumulated in this area. |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | coal |
| Secondary lithology: | sandy claystone |
| Lithology description: The Panthera mandible IGM-519 was found in the Bachatsk Quarry, in the section represented by sediments of 2 extremely diachronous and lithologically-different subaqueous formations. Very compact gray–green sandy clays of Sagarlyk Fm are overlain with a significant hiatus by the lacustrine–alluvial gray–blue plastic clays of the Kedrovka Fm. The subaerial deposits of the Sergeevo Fm separating these subaqueous sequences in the complete sections are missing in this outcrop. | |
| Environment: | terrestrial indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | permineralized,replaced with other |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Disassociated major elements: | some |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
