Abstract: | The Wuyun deposit of brown coal is situated on the right bank of the Amur River in the People’s Republic of China, 35–60 km
away from the Arkhara-Boguchan brown coal deposit. The Belaya Gora stratotype of the latter and the southwestern flanks of
the Raichikhinsk brown coal field (Russia) have been studied previously when the author analyzed in detail the Danian and
Selandian-Thanetian palynoassemblages from the Upper Tsagayan Subformation. A section of the Wuyun Formation was studied at
the eponymous deposit in 2002 and 2004. Based on new palynological results and analysis of data from earlier publications,
two palynoassemblages distinguished there in the Paleocene coal-bearing succession enable correlation between sections of
relevant deposits on the right and left banks of the Amur River. Data on the taxonomic composition of palynoassemblages are
considered, and their basic and characteristic taxa are figured in paleontological plates. |
