Ordovician sediments of central and western Tuva
Authors:
Abstract
Faunistically characterized Ordovician sediments are known in northeastern Tuva (Sistigkhem Formation) and along the northern margin of the Tuva Basin, in the Uyuk River basin (Malinov Formation). In recent years, our work proved the wide development of Ordovician sediments (Shemushdag Formation) in Western Tuva. Previously, these strata were attributed to the Silurian and were considered to be Llandovery .
