New Discovery

The fluvio-deltaic deposit of the Thimi Formation constitutes the uppermost part of the sedimentary sequence in the Kathmandu Basin, and is consists of carbonaceous clay, diatomaceous clay, silty-clay, silt, fine to medium grained sand, and thin to medium lignite beds. A 25 m thick fresh surface exposure of this formation at Phaidhoka, Bhaktapur yielded significant number of vertebrate fossils. The vertebrate fossils recovered from a sand bed at 14 m from the bottom of the sequence consist of six teeth. The teeth were identified as Bovid teeth. Along with Bovid molars fragments of limb and pelvic bones were also found belonging to the same individual.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2015, 20(2): 73-75

Crimea Peninsula

The results of geophysical and geomorphological works on the Western shelf of the Crimea peninsula (Evpatoria-Balaklava) are presented. The structure of the sedimentary sequence, the bottom topography and paleogeographic reconstructions of the conditions of the western shelf formation in the Late PleistoceneHolocene are considered. Based on the analysis of geoacoustic profiles, the main morphostructures of the shelf are identified and their brief characteristic is given. An abrasion-accumulative complex consisting of an abrasion platform and an associated accumulative clinoform, the formation of which is associated with the coastal line of the Late Pleistocene Black Sea regression to depths of about -90 m, traced from Yevpatoria to Yalta, was selected. On the shelf of the Kalamitsky Bay, fragments of the flooded river network and coastal accumulative forms such as bars were investigated.
