Abstract


The article examines the paleogeography, paleotectonic and paleoclimatic conditions of sedimentation, and the history of geological development of the Kyzylkum and its surrounding areas during the Paleogene period. The position of the Kyzylkum Desert in the system of sedimentary basins of the Paleogene of Central Asia has been clarified. The patterns of distribution of various types of rocks in the section and space are described. For the first time, the principle of dynamic facies analysis was applied for closed territories, and facies-paleogeographic mapping was carried out. Consequently, a complete cycle of sedimentation stages of the Paleocene and Eocene periods has been determined, reflecting the direction of the evolution of the Paleogene sedimentary basin of the studied area, which further contributes to the development of the territory in a new strategy for predicting the search for promising deposits, manifestations, and mineral deposits.

Key words:

paleogene, deposits, sedimentation, sediment accumulation, section, area, basin, paleogeography, climate, transgression, regression
