Bolshiyanov and Molodkov: Marine Pleistocene Deposits ofthe Taymyr Peninsula
475
differential tectonic movements of the Taymyr Peninsula.
The ESR dates obtained thus suggest active marine sedimentation over the Taymyr Peninsula
during isotope stages 4,5,7,8,9 and 15. These dates correlate well with the marine events of
the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago during the same half million year time interval (Bolshiyanov
and Makeev, 1995).

The authors are grateful to G. V. Schneider and V. V. Mezhubovsky for providing samples of
marine deposits for dating, to Yeo A. Kirienko, who carried out foraminifera analysis, to V. S.
Zarkhidze, who determined the malaco-fauna species, and to G. V. Stepanova, who carried out
diatom analysis.
