High pediments of the Baikalian rift zone

Abstract

The paper describes special features of distribution and evolution history of the regional erosional planation surface (high pediments level) and correlative deposits dated in general from Late Pliocene and Eopleistocene. A problem of Neogene-Anthropogene boundary is discussed from geomorphological point of view. A significance of high pediments level is shown for the determination of lower limit of Eopleistocene.
