The Aidaralashi section is located in the Aktyubinsk Priuralie on the right bank of the Aidaralashi River, a left tributary of the Zheman-Kargal River, 7-8 km downriver from the Novorossiyskiy settlement. The section reveals a thick (1200 m) thickness of sandy-clayey fleishoid deposits, in the composition of which the authors distinguish three horizons of the Asselian Stage, corresponding to three fusulinid zones ...

Pamir is one of the areas where adrianitids are quite fully represented. From the Permian sediments of the southeastern Pamir, the family Adrianitidae belongs to: Emiliiesaff. incertum (Bose), Crimites pamiricus Toum., C. spathi Toum., C. murgabensis Pav. A, Neocrimites nalivkini Toum.,N. dutkevitchi sp. nov., N. pamiricussp. nov., Pamiritella vinogradovi Toum., P.sp., Istycoceras bodylevskyi Pav., Pamirioceras markovskii Pav.

On August 9, 1968, the Leningrad Mining Institute suffered a heavy loss: Vitaly I. Bodylevsky, Professor of the Department of Historical Geology, passed away. Vitaly Ivanovich gave fifty years of his life to the Mining Institute and during these long years trained and educated many hundreds of geologists, became a leading specialist in the field of paleontology and stratigraphy of the Mesozoic, a scientist of world renown.

The schemes of subdivision of Permian sediments of southern areas based on microfauna are difficult to link with stratigraphic schemes of subdivision of Permian sediments of other areas, in particular, with the reference section of the Urals. This problem is solved only by the joint location of ammonoids and microfauna. More than ten locations of ammonoids of good preservation prove the wide distribution of ammonoids in the Permian sediments of the Pamir over the area and section. The main results of the processing of the collected materials on the age of individual formations and broad correlation of Permian deposits of different areas are presented earlier. The present work contains a description of a number of new forms of ammonoids collected mainly from a single locality - on the right bank of the Istyk River, from deposits of the Kuberganda Formation ...

The most important fossils for the deposits of the Permian system are ammonoids and microfauna.The stratigraphy of the Permian deposits of the southern biogeographic areas (Tethys), which occupy a huge area on the globe, is developed mainly on the basis of microfauna. In the Urals, the longitudinal scale of the Permian sediments is based on the ammonoid fauna. Therefore, it is obvious that the Pamir area, where both divisions of the Permian system are fully represented by marine sediments containing a rich ammonoid fauna together with microfauna, is best suited for correlating the stratigraphic schemes of these areas ...
