Report from a visit to the Komi Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Syktyvkar, Russia, and from fieldwork in the central Timans, August 1995

Abstract

The objective of research initiated in Central Timans in August 1995 was to extend and continue the work carried out in the Varanger-Rybachi-Sredni-Kildin area during the years 1990-93. The studies embraced stratigraphy, sedimentation deformation and metamorphism of Neoproterozoic successions which accumulated in different parts of the same NW-SE-oriented extensional basin. Two areas, Chetlasky Kamen and Vymskaya Ridge in the Central Timans, were selected for examination; unfortunately only the latter area was visited, for economic reasons.
