Reconstruction of sedimentation conditions in paleo-reservoirs of the northern part of the Sambian Peninsula based on the comprehensive study of the Kulikovo section

A comprehensive analysis of the deposits of the paleo-reservoir represented in the Kulikovo section (the northern part of the Sambian Peninsula) has been carried out. According to results of radiocarbon dating, the deposits formed approximately from 14100 to 12900 cal yr BP. The most detailed data were obtained for the lower part of the section (depth 192–141 cm), comprising the Older Dryas and the first half of the Allerød. Results of a comprehensive lithological, diatom, spore-and-pollen analysis and algo-zoological microfossil analysis allowed us to identify 8 stages of the sedimentation conditions of the paleo-reservoir.
