New Data on the Problem of the Origin of a Gry Relief in the South of Western Siberia

Abstract

As a result of the field work carried out by the authors in 2018, an important factual material was collected to solve the problem. Two key sections were studied: on the Kazantsev Cape in the Northern part of the Chany Lake and in the area of the known location of the mammoth fauna of the Wolf Ridge in the Novosibirsk Region. The internal structure of the ridges (stratification), the lithological composition of the composing rocks were studied and paleontological remains – ostracods and mollusks – were collected. The data obtained indicate in favor of water, not aeolian origin of the ridges.
