Abstract
Upper Eocene, Oligocene, and lower Miocene units were distinguished in the Lower Cenozoic Machigar and Tumi formations of the Schmidt Penins ula, northern Sakhalin, using distribution patterns of 77 mollusk spec ies. A detailed study of their assemblages permitted far the first tim e the subdivision of the section into nine faunal beds. The results ar e used to correlate the section with coeval deposits in adjacent regio ns and to perform paleogeographical reconstructions.
