The Ulban terrane composed of a thick sedimentary series of Jurassic clastic deposits is located at the junction of the Mongol-Okhotsk and Sikhote-Alin orogenic belts. The results of the study of the deposits assigned to the Middle Jurassic Elgon Formation are presented. The structure of the sedimentary succession and sedimentological features are considered and illustrated, which indicate sand-reach turbidite sedimentation in a setting of sandy lobe of turbidite cones or ramps. The paleocurrent directions measured in outcrops and calculated using the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility suggest the transport of clastic material from the western or southwestern sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
