Sukaytin Gr

Period:

Quaternary

Age Interval:

Neopleistocene, Z5

Province:
Zarafshan-N.Gissar

Type Locality and Naming

Along the valley of the Sukaitysai River and the Sukaitin terrace of the Kashkadarya River. G.F. Tetukhin, 1951 (127, p.34). Represented by deposits of the III terrace of the middle course and corresponding alluvial cones. Upper group in the Karnab Complex (Karnab Gr), the deposits of the Sukaytin Gr (complex) are adjacent to the alluvium of the II terrace of the Zarafshan River.

Synonym: Sukaytyusky Complex, Сукайтинский компл.

Lithology and Thickness

Alluvial-proluvial pebbles, sands, and loess-like rocks with lenses of clays and sand. Thickness in the foothills up to 15 m, on the plain - 15-23 m, in the depression - 55-70 m.

Lithology Pattern:

Aus Conglomerate

Fossils

Contains remains of the mammoth complex fauna, ostracod shells, and late Mousterian tools in the pebbles, and remains of a late Paleolithic camp in the overlying loess.

Age

According to paleomagnetic data, the deposits of the Sukaytin Gr are magnetized in the epoch of normal polarity (Brunhes => Chibanian Stage). According to A., - upper Neopleistocene. In the Strat. Sl. (444) upper Quaternary, and in the modern understanding, the upper link of the Neopleistocene.
