Late Triassic foraminifers of the southern Far East

For the first time, a purposeful study of foraminifera from Triassic limestones in the vicinity of Dalnegorsk was carried out and their images in paleontological tables were given. The presented results for the first time make it possible to evaluate quite diverse associations of foraminifera from the Late Triassic limestones and to obtain an idea of the composition of the assemblages in various limestone massifs. In general, the present compositions of foraminifer assemblages from limestones of the Upper Triassic in the study area are typical for different levels of Carnian­Norian deposits in the regions of Europe and Asia, primarily the Alps and the Carpathians.
