Fig.5 Stratigraphic summary (Eocene-Holocene). Chronostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, global sequence stratigraphy and calibration after 
Haq et al. (1988) (see also chronostratigraphic schemes of Chumakov et a/., 1984, 1988, 1992a—b and others). Sequence boundary ages in Ma. 
Biostratigraphy after Blow (1969) (planktonic foraminifera) (prefixed P and N) and Martini (1971) (calcareous nanoplankton) (prefixed NP and 
NN). Regional stratigraphy from this paper. Regional sequence stratigraphy modified after Chepalyga (1985). Cycles are regressive (mega) 
sequences. II-III are equivalent to the ‘Eoparatethyan’, IV to the ‘Mesoparatethyan’ and V—VI to the ‘Neoparatethyan’ of Nevesskaya er al. (1985). 
Curve shows extent of open marine connection (function of sea-level) as inferred from salinity data from palaeontological analyses (S%vo = salinity 
parts per thousand). Res. pot. = Resource potential (S = source, R = reservoir, C = caprock). The correlation of Eastern Paratethyan sequence 
stratigraphy with the global coastal onlap curve of Haq et al. (1988) is tentative. Where biostratigraphic control constrains the correlation this is 
indicated.
