Low plateau of Privolzhskaya highland: new data on genesis and age

Abstract

Deluvial-proluvial brown clays with pebble and break-stone inclusions are widespread on the low plateau of Privolzhskaya highland. These clays date from Eopleistocene and Early Neopleistocene according to paleomagnetic data. They were formed in semiarid climate concurrently with pedimentation of the upper plateau.
