Geologicheskii Vestnik

The article considers the lithofacial features of Upper Devonian carbonate rocks in the Mendym section, in rock outcrops along the right and left banks of the Mendym River flowing through the Mendym settlement. Five lithofacies were identified in the rocks: micro-grained wackstones with ammonoids, crinoid-brachiopod coquina — rudstones-grainstones at the upper part of the Frasnian; lumpy-breccia-like wackstones with ammonoids, bioturbated wackstones with calcispheres and peloid-clumped packstones with foraminifera in the Famennian. The complex of lithofacial features indicates the conditions of the deep-sea shelf of the ramp type with the influence of storms.
