“…Second, the two proposed geosites represent rich biotic communities of the mid-Paleozoic tropical seas. If so, these seem to be valuable equally to some other geosites like those reported from Germany [31] and Vietnam [32]. More generally, these lines of evidence demonstrate the importance of the Russian Altai for marine geoheritage.…”

Marine geoheritage comprises unique geological features of modern and ancient seas and oceans. The Russian Altai (southern Siberia) is a vast and geologically rich area, which was covered by a marginal sea of the Panthalassa Ocean in the Devonian. New geosites representing shallow- and deep-marine depositional environments and palaeoecosystems of submarine volcano slopes are proposed, namely, Melnichnye Sopki and Zavodskie Sopki. They are located near the town of Zmeinogorsk (Altai Region of the Russian Federation). These pieces of marine geoheritage are valuable on an international scale. Special geoconservation procedures are recommended to manage the proposed geosites efficiently. They can be included in a geopark, which is reasonable to create due to the concentration of geological and mining heritage in the study area.

“…These also permit to realize the diversity and the integrity of the local geoheritage landscape. The problem of difference of geoheritage manifestations is significant for detailed geoheritage resource assessment (e.g., [19,20]), and the idea of dispersed geoheritage points permits to solve it partly making a clear distinction between primary, 'traditional' geosites and secondary, auxiliary dispersed geoheritage points. This idea seems to be worth consideration for further refinement of the available quantitative approaches of general geoheritage analysis and description [8,10,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Dispersed Geoheritage Points of the Lagonaki Highland, SW Russia: Contribution to Local Geoheritage Resource

2019

Dispersed geoheritage points, which are small-sized and low-unique localities, manifest local geoheritage and, thus, may be useful for its comprehensive understanding. Field studies in the Lagonaki Highland (Western Caucasus, southwestern Russia) have permitted to find four geoheritage points that are described with argumentation of their importance to scientists, educators, and/or tourists. These points, none of which can be defined as a ‘traditional’ geosite, provide some precious sedimentary, palaeontological, and mineralogical information that improves perception of the local geoheritage landscape dominated by the Late Jurassic carbonate platform deposits. The studied localities are constituents of the local geoheritage resource because of their utility to three main categories of potential users. Scientists may be interested in these dispersed geoheritage points because of the need to collect massive geological data from big areas. Educators and tourists may appreciate these points because of their location along principal roads, i.e., their good accessibility.

“…These approaches are mixed because geoheritage is a both objective (real geological objects) and subjective (people's interpretation of these objects). The present study follows the basic principles of the "standard" geoheritage-related studies, the outcomes of which are published in professional international journals (for instance, [37][38][39]).…”

On the Duality of Marine Geoheritage: Evidence from the Abrau Area of the Russian Black Sea Coast

Marine geoheritage is an important but still underdeveloped concept. Field investigations in the Abrau area (Krasnodar Region, southwestern Russia) and subsequent interpretations allow for the characterization of its geoheritage. Two geosites, namely Abrau and Limanchik, are delineated and assessed semi-qualitatively. Their high heritage value, complexity, and appropriate “technical” properties are appraised. The Abrau geosite features Abrau Lake with its enigmatic origin and the outcrops of deformed Upper Cretaceous carbonate flysch deposits. The Limanchik geosite represents an outstanding example of coastal abrasion, Paleocene siliciclastic flysch with trace fossils, and a coastal lagoon separated from the sea by a bar. The heritage aspects of the study areas are related to the development of the Late Cretaceous, Paleocene, and Pliocene seas, as well as to the active dynamics of the Black Sea coastal zone. The duality of marine geoheritage is linked to its relation to both ancient and modern marine environments.
