Ustmylian Gorizont
The Ustmylian Gorizont (geology), Gorizont ("Ustmylian Horizon") is a Lower Triassic biostratigraphic unit in Western Russia. The Ustmylian Gorizont is the youngest subunit of the Vetlugian Supergorizont, lying above the Sludkian Gorizont and below the Yarenskian Gorizont. It corresponds to the later part of the early Olenekian stage. Along with the Sludkian Gorizont, the Ustmylian Gorizont is encompassed by the "''Wetlugasaurus'' fauna", named after a capitosaur amphibian index fossil. While the Sludkian is characterized by ''Wetlugasaurus angustifrons'', the Ustmylian is characterized by ''Wetlugasaurus malachovi''. The Ustmylian is exposed in several svitas (equivalent to geological formations) spread out over a wide area. These include the upper part of the Charkabozhskaya Svita (Charkabozh Formation) in the Pechora (river), Pechora Basin, the Bereznikovskaya Svita in the Moscow Syncline, the Pizhmomezen'skaya Svita near the Mezen (river), Mezen River, and the Gostevskaya Svita n ...

Gorizont (geology)
In geology, a horizon is either a bedding surface where there is marked change in the lithology within a sequence of sedimentary rock, sedimentary or volcanic rocks, or a distinctive layer or thin Bed (geology), bed with a characteristic lithology or fossil content within a sequence. Examples of the former can include things such as volcanic eruptions as well as things such as meteorite impacts and tsunamis. Examples of the latter include things such as ice ages and other large climate events, as well as large but temporary geological features and changes such as inland oceans. In the interpretation of Reflection seismology, seismic reflection data, horizons are the reflectors (or seismic events) picked on individual profiles. These reflectors represent a change in rock properties across a boundary between two layers of rock, particularly P-wave#Velocity, seismic velocity and density. It can also represent changes in the density of the material and the composition of it and the press ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Triassic Russia
The Triassic ( ) is a geologic period and system which spans 50.6 million years from the end of the Permian Period 251.902 million years ago ( Mya), to the beginning of the Jurassic Period 201.36 Mya. The Triassic is the first and shortest period of the Mesozoic Era. Both the start and end of the period are marked by major extinction events. The Triassic Period is subdivided into three epochs: Early Triassic, Middle Triassic and Late Triassic. The Triassic began in the wake of the Permian–Triassic extinction event, which left the Earth's biosphere impoverished; it was well into the middle of the Triassic before life recovered its former diversity. Three categories of organisms can be distinguished in the Triassic record: survivors from the extinction event, new groups that flourished briefly, and other new groups that went on to dominate the Mesozoic Era. Reptiles, especially archosaurs, were the chief terrestrial vertebrates during this time. A specialized subgroup of archosaurs ...

Geologic Formations Of Russia
Geology () is a branch of natural science concerned with Earth and other astronomical objects, the features or rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Modern geology significantly overlaps all other Earth sciences, including hydrology, and so is treated as one major aspect of integrated Earth system science and planetary science. Geology describes the structure of the Earth on and beneath its surface, and the processes that have shaped that structure. It also provides tools to determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks found in a given location, and also to describe the histories of those rocks. By combining these tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole, and also to demonstrate the age of the Earth. Geology provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and the Earth's past climates. Geologists broadly study the properties and processes of E ...
