Provenance and Stratigraphy of the Upper Carboniferous—Lower Permian Strata of October Revolution Island (Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago): Implications for Geological History of the Russian High Arctic
Small depressions across the north-eastern part of October Revolution Island (Severnaya Zemlya archipelago, Kara terrane) are filled with continental terrigenous rocks, dated as Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian in age based on palynological data. These rocks overlie Ordovician volcaniclastic rocks...
