Geological-Stratigraphic Position of Upper Pleistocene Marine Sediments in the Southern Kola Peninsula: Evidence from Geochronological and Geological Data

摘要

The presented analytical data specify the geological -stratigraphic position of interglacial sequences that serve as important geological and paleogeographic markers. Solution of this problem is of theoretical and paleogeographic significance in the correlation of Late Pleistocene events in different regions and prospecting for diamond and other mineral placers. The works were carried out in the western Terskii Coast of the White Sea, where differently aged interglacial sediments are exposed along the steep slopes of river valleys. Collected samples were dated using the electron spin resonance (ESR) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) methods, which made it possible to specify the geological-stratigraphic position of interglacial marine sedimentary units.
