Mesozoic-Cenozoic Oversalt Deposits from the Gremyachkinskoye Sylvinite Field

The authors consider compositions of the rocks penetrated with the Well NO 13 in the Gremyachkinskoye sylvinite field, Volgograd Region. Varied complexes of terrigenous, ciliceous and carbonate rocks, alongside with their mixed varieties rhythmically alternate there over the Late Cretaceous, Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary sections. Reconstructions have been made of their generation settings within marine basins; the basin evolution during that lengthy period used to be associated with periodic manifestations of tectonic events of both, global and regional scales.
