Abstract

The lake Krasnoye lies on the 3d terrace of the Moscow River in the periglacial region of the Moscow and Valdai glaciations. It has rounded conical shape 300 m in diameter and 9 m in depth, and is surrounded by a gentle rim 2-6 m in height and 100-150 m in width. Deposits of the rim (sand and sandy-loam) have lumpy, practically non layered structure which is similar to gravitational deposits of the slope foot. Authors suggest that these deposits might be formed at the foot of the large ancient pingo existed here in the periglacial conditions, from the slopes of which unconsolidated sediments crept and were washed down. The impact origin of this rimmed depression should by reject because of the complete absence of the deep rocks ejecta.

Keywords

Moscow Region, lake bed, astrobleme-like basin, ring configuration, rim, glacier epoch, pingo, paleocryogenic form, soft sediments, spores and pollen analysis, slope process.
