Geologicheskii Vestnik

The article presents the malacological characteristics of the Sartan horizon of the Upper Neopleistocene of the Bokhan section (Fore-Baikal area). The age of the molluscs is determined by the stratigraphic position in the section under Holocene soil and radiocarbon dates. The deluvial deposits of the Sartan horizon with a thickness of 2.5 m are described in the depth interval 0.5–3 m. Sartan time was a period of cold environment.
