Figure 7. Cyclic sequences of the
Vendian molasse in the stratotypic section and principal phases of
foredeep development, modified after [Sovetov and
Blagovidov, 1998].
Symbols: 1-7 - deposits of stream channels and valleys of various types: 1 - braided gravel
dominated valley, 2 - braided sand dominated valley,
3 - meandering sand dominated valley, 4 - ephemeral streams,
5 - anastomosing sand dominated stream, 6 - deltaic channels,
7 - low-sinuosity stream with bars, 8 - extra-channel
(floodplain) deposits; 9-13 - deposits of shelf systems:
9 - sand bars of upper and middle parts of the foreshore zone and
beach (the upper shallow marine assemblage), 10 - same (the
middle shallow marine assemblage), 11 - sand and silt-sand
dominated storm-reworked and hemipelagic interbar portions of
foreshore and distal zones (the middle shallow marine assemblage),
12 - storm-reworked sand and interbar laminites of various parts
of the foreshore zone (the upper shallow marine assemblage),
13 - bedded stromatolite and granular dolomites of the supratidal
beach zone, 14 - various sequences of Riphean basement of the
southern Yenisei-Cis-Sayan foredeep.
