Abstract

The records of the last interglacial in several palaeogeographical zones and various sedimentary environments from Central Asia to the Black Sea shoreline are presented. The last interglacial is characterized in the study areas by a two- or three-unit stratigraphical complex with both terrestrial and marine formations. Finds of significant small mammalian remains, together with a characteristic mollusc fauna in the Karangatian marine sediments, provide key levels for biostratigraphical correlation between the marine and continental deposits. New U/Th dates allow the correlation of the Karangatian transgression with δ18O substage 5e.
