Abstract
As a result of recent field studies in the Middle Yenisei Valley, the absence of high terraces of alluvial and periglacial origin, which traditionally formed the basis of the Quaternary stratigraphy of the Minusinsk basins, has been established. Sediments previously attributed to the alluvium of high terraces are super-flood. The article provides lithofacies characteristics of subaerial and megaflood deposits, as well as the features of their relationships in space. Information on paleontological and archaeological objects from stratified locations of the study area, for which geodatabases have been compiled, has been summarized and cartographically visualized. In the North Minusinsk Basin, the analysis of reference sections of the Kurtak region, worked out in detail stratigraphically and published by previous researchers, made it possible to determine the stratigraphic position of megaflood strata based on the occurrence between subaerial packs with paleosols. The geochronometric, paleontological, and geoarchaeological characteristics of the sequence of the studied geological deposits are given. On the basis of systematization of already known materials and generalization of new field data, the presence of deposits of three megaflood strata in the Middle Yenisei Valley was established: Razlog (II4 rz), Chaninskaya (III2 chn), Divninskaya (III4 dv).
Supporting agencies: The research was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Science Foundation grant № 22-17-00140 “Late Quaternary history of the main valleys of Western Siberia”
