Kynyr-Perm Formation

Kynyr-Perm Fm

Period:

Permian

Age Interval:

Asselian, K5

Province:
Kyzylkum Region

Type Locality and Naming

By the Kynyr well, S. Tamdytau, Central Kyzylkum. N.P. Petrov et al., 1938.

Synonym: Kynyr Suite, Кынырская св.

Lithology and Thickness

Conglomerates, gravellites, sandstones, siltstone (aleurolites), and slates. Thickness up to 460m. Along Ya.B. Aysanov (1986), it is divided into two parts:

Upper - red-colored conglomerates, gravellites, sandstones, siltstone (aleurolites), claystones (argillites), limestones.

Lower - green-colored conglomerates, gravellites, sandstones, siltstone (aleurolites), claystones (argillites).

Lithology Pattern:

Aus Conglomerate

Relationships and Distribution

Lower contact

It sharply unconformably lies on the metamorphic rocks of the Uchkuduktau Fm of Proterozoic

Upper contact

It is overlain by Quaternary formations (443; 460).

Regional extent

Central Kyzylkum, northeastern end of the Tamdytau Mountains.

Fossils

Limestone pebbles of conglomerates contain Devonian, Carboniferous foraminifera, including late Moscovian forms (122).

Age

It is tentatively assigned to the Permian by comparison with the red-colored molasses of the Farish Fm of the S. Nuratau ridge. Previous researchers, considering the suite as a molasse formation, date it to the Moscovian epoch of the Middle Carboniferous (122; Bukharin et al., 1990; Aysanov et al., 1986) or Middle (late Moscovian) - Late Carboniferous (Abduazimova et al., 1993) or conditionally Permian (460).
