“…The previous records of large land mammals remains from the Late Miocene deposits near Maikop are very (Alexeeva 1955). The size and morphology of m3 are similar to those of the zygodont mastodons from middle/late Turolian sites of the Sea of Azov and the northern Black Sea region: Obukhovka-Yanovka and Morskaya 2 (Titov et al 2006.…”

Abstract Late Miocene continental deposits overlying the Khersonian marine sediments near the city of Maikop bordering the Belaya River (North Caucasus) yielded a diverse biotic record including palynology, ostracods, fresh-water and terrestrial molluscs, fishes, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and mammals. The obtained data indicate predominantly wooded landscapes along the banks of a large fresh-water estuarine or lagoonal basin with occasional connection with the sea. The basin existed in a warm temperate to subtropical climate with a high humidity and an estimated mean annual precipitation above 800 mm. The mammalian assemblage with Hipparion spp., Alilepus sp., Paraglirulus schultzi, Eozapus intermedius, Parapodemus lugdunensis, Collimys caucasicus sp. nov., Neocricetodon cf. progressus, etc. is referable to the early Turolian, MN 11. The data regarding composition and stage of evolution of the small mammal content combined with mostly normal polarity of the fossiliferous deposits, and the age estimates of the upper Khersonian boundary as between 8.6 and 7.9 Ma indicate a plausible correlation with Chron C4n and an age range between 8.1–7.6 Ma.

“…The alluvial sands of bed 4 correspond to the Khaprovian fluvial unit correlated with Early Pleistocene (MN17) based on the mammalian fauna. This formation is attributed to the palae-Don River sedimentation in its lower course and deltaic parts (Gromov, 1948;Vasiliev, 1969;Titov et al, 2006;Tesakov et al, 2007;Titov, 2008;Tesakov, 2013). The red-coloured clays of bed 5 ("Scythian Clays") are refereed to the Lower Pleistocene.…”

“…The age of the deposits with Viviparidae has been a matter of debate for a long time: the deposits were considered either of Akchagylian (Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene) (Popov, 1962;Vasiliev, 1969) or Khersonian (Late Miocene) age (Bogachev, 1961;Kolesnikov, 1940) (Figure 2). In the early 2000s, new data on molluscs and vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and large and small mammals) were obtained, suggesting these deposits to be of late Miocene (Titov et al, 2006;Titov and Tesakov, 2013).…”

Clays and sands of the Morskaya 2 site in the northeastern Azov Sea region contain an assemblage of freshwater and marine molluscs. The site known since the early twentieth century as "Paludina beds" has been alternatively attributed to either Late Pliocene or Late Miocene. Our study shows that the site yielded two assemblages with one composed of Middle Sarmatian (Bessarabian) marine species (M1) and the other containing freshwater and terrestrial molluscs of late Maeotian age (about 7-6 Ma) (M2) with redeposited Bessarabian marine forms. The former assemblage was dated by the vertebrate fauna to the late Turolian and MN13 unit of the West European mammalian biostratigraphical scheme. This level correlates to the Messinian of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart. Ecological preferences in humidity, vegetation, etc. of the terrestrial and freshwater molluscs indicate the presence of a freshwater body rich in aquatic vegetation with a periodical current and a probable connection with a brackish water body located near the Palaeo-Don river delta. Deciduous forests, bushes, and meadows grew on the banks of this basin. The presented revision of molluscs from Morskaya 2 elucidates the composition and correlations of the late Miocene nonmarine fauna in the southeast Europe and includes a description of molluscan assemblages, a discussion of systematic position of the studied molluscs, and a palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the freshwater basin and its surroundings.
