This paper considers new
versions on the paleogeographic environment and types of Pliocene basins
within South Caspian trough. Authors in the base of complex sedimentology investigations
with using some data seismic exploration and seismostratigraphic reconstruction
are considered paleogeographic environment and determinate two types of
Pliocene basin – early Pliocene intra-continental riftogenic-graben trench type
and late Pliocene – open epicontinental type basin. Morphology, bathymetry,
salinity, temperature of pre bottom water and climate of twin Pliocene basins
are also considered in this paper.
Keywords:
