Изучение следов жизнедеятельности ископаемых организмов весьма полезно в геологических исследованиях. Однако информация об их распространении в осадочных комплексах отличается неполнотой. Полевое изучение песчаников готеривского возраста в северной части Горной Адыгеи (Западный Кавказ) позволило установить (возможно, впервые) в одной из их пачек наличие ихнофоссилий.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Целью настоящей работы является характеристика и интерпретация комплекса ихнофоссилий из готеривских песчаников Горной Адыгеи.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Полевые исследования включали поиск и документацию следов жизнедеятельности in situ, а также отбор образов. В ходе лабораторных исследований проводилась идентификация ихнофоссилий, давались оценки биотурбации и ихнофациальной принадлежности. Также с применением петрографического и рентгеновского методов анализировалось вещество, заполняющее наиболее часто встречаемые следы.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Установленные ихнофоссилии отличаются низким разнообразием. Они идентифицированы как Ophiomorpha isp., ?Ophiomorpha isp., Skolithos isp., ?Taenidium isp. Последние встречаются наиболее часто, но именно они наименее четкие и представляют наибольшую сложность для определения. Биотурбация невелика, но возрастает в отдельных локусах. Ихнофациальная интерпретация неоднозначна, т.к. одновременно присутствуют элементы ихнофаций Scoyenia и Scolithos.</p></sec><sec><title>Обсуждение результатов</title><p>Обсуждение результатов. Ихнофоссилии указывают на активность креветок, насекомых, червей на поверхности и внутри осадка. Последний накапливался в условиях наземной части речной дельты рядом с водотоком. По всей видимости, на рассматриваемой территории в готеривском веке располагалась островная суша.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Результаты ихнологического изучения готеривских песчаников Горной Адыгеи как представляют интерес сами по себе, так и служат важным индикатором обстановки осадконакопления.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Background</title><p>Background. Trace fossils are highly informative objects for geological investigations. However, the information about their distribution in sedimentary settings lacks completeness. The conducted field studies of sandstones of the Hauterivian age in the northern part of Mountainous Adygeya (Western Caucasus) established, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time the presence of ichnofossils in one of their members.</p></sec><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. Characterization and interpretation of an ichnofossil assemblage from Hauterivian sandstones of Mountainous Adygeya.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. Field investigations included in-situ search and documentation of ichnofossils, as well as their sampling. In the course of laboratory investigations, ichnofossils were interpreted; bioturbation and ichnofacies were evaluated. In addition, petrographical and XRD methods were used to analyze the matter that fills the most widespread traces.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The established ichnofossils are distinguished by a low diversity. They can be identified as Ophiomorpha isp., ?Ophiomorpha isp., Skolithos isp., ?Taenidium isp. The latter species, although occurring most commonly, are least clear and hard to identify. Bioturbation is weak, although increasing in particular loci. The ichnofacial interpretation is uncertain due to the coexistence of elements typical of the Scoyenia and Scolithos ichnofacies.</p></sec><sec><title>Discussion</title><p>Discussion. The studied ichnofossils indicate the activity of shrimps, insects, and worms both on the surface and inside the sediment. The latter accumulated under the conditions of a subaerial part of the river delta near its stream section. Apparently, in the Hauterivian Stage, the area under study was represented by a land mass.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The results obtained during the conducted ichnological study of Hauterivian sandstones of Mountainous Adygeya are not only interesting per se, but also serve as an important indicator of sedimentation environments.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биотурбация</kwd><kwd>дельты</kwd><kwd>следы жизнедеятельности</kwd><kwd>условия осадконакопления</kwd><kwd>нижний мел</kwd><kwd>свита Губс</kwd><kwd>Западный Кавказ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>bioturbation</kwd><kwd>deltas</kwd><kwd>trace fossils</kwd><kwd>sedimentation environments</kwd><kwd>Lower Cretaceous</kwd><kwd>Gubs Formation</kwd><kwd>Western Caucasus</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование проведено за счет средств Программы стратегического академического лидерства Казанского (Приволжского) федерального университета («Приоритет-2030»)</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This paper has been supported by the Kazan Federal University Strategic Academic Leadership Program (PRIORITY-2030)</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Барабошкин Е.Е.
