• Resumen

  • The Altai-Sayan Folded Area is the large complicated geological structure situated in the south of Siberia. It includes several units: Gorny Altai, Salair, Kuznetsky Alatau, Kuzbass and Minusa depressions, West Sayan and Tuva. During Ordovician synchronic and heterochronic events happened with the mentioned structures. These events resulted in the change of the facial depositional environments, expansion range as well as in composition and structure of the biota developed.
