The structural-genetic analysis of the Upper Palaeozoic sections of Taimir allowed us to distinguish seven geoformations – regional geological bodies, which had been formed as a result of transgression-regression cycles in the palaeobasin. The geoformations are considered as the regional stratigraphic units (Horizont in Russian usage). Lithologically uniform parts of the geoformations (gradations), which resulted from lateral differentiation of landscapes during the regional sedimentation cycle, are used as local stratigraphical units. The developed stratigraphical scheme based on the geoformations and gradations is the geohistorical model of the Late Palaeozoic of Taimir.
