Lithology and Thickness
According to S. S. Kara petov (1964), the section of the described deposits is three-membered. The lower part of it (15 m) is made up of red-colored sandstone limestones and sandstones. The middle part (50 m) is composed of limestones. The upper part (80-100 m) is made up of dolomites. The total thickness of the considered Upper Carboniferous - Permian deposits is about 160 m.
Relationships and Distribution
