Golodnostepsky Gr

Period:

Quaternary

Age Interval:

Province:
North Tajik

Type Locality and Naming

Includes in Fergana Valley, Isfara River

Synonym: Golodnostepsky complex, Голодностепский комплекс

Reference section:

Lithology and Thickness

Aus Conglomerate. This complex combines alluvial deposits of low terraces and colluvial deposits of powerful alluvial cones at the foot of the present-day ridges. The alluvium of terraces has a two-membered structure: below are gravels, above are loams. In the valleys of large rivers, the gravels are well sorted and stratified, the loams - Sedimentary deposits are lenticular, layered. The thickness of deposits reaches up to 50m in depressions, 5-15m in areas of uplifts. The alluvial deposits of the Kuramin Ridge are pebbly-gravelly, mixed with sand and loam; along the southern edge of Fergana - boulder-pebble deposits up to 100m thick.

Lithology Pattern:

Aus Conglomerate

Relationships and Distribution

Lower contact

The deposits of the desert-steppe complex are embedded with significant erosion into the rocks of the middle Quaternary Tashkent Gr.

Upper contact

On the other hand, they adjoin the deposits of the modern Syrdarya Gr.

Regional extent

It is distributed in the Syr Darya River basin in the Karamazar and South Fergana regions, as well as in the northern part of the Turkestan region.
