Biostratigraphy of the Mikulino Interglacial Sediments in NW Russia

Pollen, diatom and foraminiferal analyses of a nearly complete Mikulino/Eemian interglacial marine sequence in Petrozavodsk, Russian Karelia, is presented together with a comprehensive literature review of Mikulino biostratigraphical data in NW Russia earlier published mostly in Russian. Mikulino interglacial deposits have been investigated in numerous sites, and, similarly, palaeohydrology and duration and correlation of different phases of the Mikulino marine submergence in this region have also been under discussion in several papers.
