Abstract
Seismostratigraphic analysis of Paleogene deposits in northeastern Ustyurt was carried out. Four seismostratigraphic complexes have been recognized: Paleocene–Ypresian, Lutetian–Bartonian (Tasaran unit), Bartonian–Priabonian (Saksaul’skaya–Chegan), and Oligocene. We have established for the first time the clinoform structure of the Tasaran and Saksaul’skaya–Chegan complexes, which explains various concepts of their age. Seismostratigraphic analysis must be an integral part of stratigraphic research, which will significantly increase the reliability of correlation between geological sequences.
