Abstract
© 2022, Novosibirsk State University.The paper focuses on presumable sources of coarse carbonate material transported into the Visean Northern Kharaulakh basin. The sand to pebble components of the Krestyakh conglomerate unit originated by medium and distant transport by debris flows (turbidity currents) along submarine canyons from the place of their initial littoral deposition to relatively deep accommodation basins. The carbonate material was most likely derived from Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian sediments, which are currently represented by their analogs in Kotelny Island. The sediments of the Northern Kharaulakh basin store a record of two geological events: (1) middle Visean collision of Siberia with the Laurussian supercontinent and rifting of some terranes off the Siberian сraton, and (2) late Visean collision of the Kara terrane with the northern margin of Siberia.
