Abstract


The palynocomplexes of individual Stages of the Maykop Suit, indicating their formation environments, were received from the geological sections of Shamakh-Gobustan region. All the palynocomplexes are characterized by combination of "Poltava" paratropical Eocene flora and elements of evergreen Mediterranean, and temperate deciduous "Turgay" type flora, existed in the humid subtropical climate with the average winter temperatures in the foothills not less than 15° C. Comparing to other Oligocene complexes, palynocomplexes of middle layer of the Hutt Stage are characterized by high content of warm-temperate and temperate flora pollen, which existence indicates the decrease of average annual temperatures. At the beginning of the Early Miocene (Caucasian century), climatic conditions were stabilized preserving a deciduous temperate flora in the vegetation structure.
