Aquatic morphogenesis and paleolandscape appearance in north-eastern flank of the Baikal rift zone during the quaternary

The article presents the results of detailed paleopotamological, lithological-stratigraphic, facies and palynological analysis deposits terraced complex of the Muya hollows system, which allowed reconstructing the sedimentary environment of paleosettings. It has been established that the accumulations of aqua paragenetic sequence of continental sedimentary formations (fluvial and lacustrine groups) mostly developed during the Pleistocene. From Upper Eopleistocene in the depressions, there were some large lacustrine stream water basins, changed by the cycles of their decrease with the subsequent weathering cuttings. To Late Pleistocene, the lacustrine regime gradually comes into the relic state and is changed by river as the main factor of deposits accumulation.
