Abstract

this article presents the results of granulometric study of a 527-meter thick Upper Kuytun sedimentary section: 172 m of natural outcrop and 355 m of core material from a drill hole. The section exhibits the lower rhythmic pebble–sandy and upper sandy stratums. The former accumulated in Barguzin Valley during a rapid (uncompensated by sedimentation) subsidence of the Lake Baikal bed. The latter formed due to specific regime of sediment accumulation that occurred before the Tyya tectonic phase of relief structural reorganization at the end of the Middle Neopleistocene. From paleopotamological analysis of data obtained, we infer that the sandy stratum accumulated in shallow flow lacustrine reservoirs with weak waves and bottom currents (subhorizontally-layered siltstones and fine-grained sands of coastal and littoral facies of lakes), as well as progressive immobile river flows with retaining, slowed- down movement of water (fine-medium-grained sands with oblique and floodplain facies of rivers).
