Within the central part of the Soviet Arctic a set of sections exposing successive strata from the Lower Cambrian to the Ordovician has been studied in detail. On the basis of rock composition and fossils, detailed lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic subdivisions have been established. From the Yenesey River on the west to the right bank of the Lena on the east, lateral and vertical heterogeneity of facies is found in Cambrian deposits. However, regularities in the evolution of trilobites and distinctive changes in their assemblages with time permit subdivisions of the Cambrian into stages, zones, and horizons. Middle Cambrian strata are underlain conformably by rocks of the Lenian Stage containing three faunal zones in the Siberian north. The boundary between the series is determined by the disappearance of the Protolenidae and the appearance of numerous Oryctocephalidae and Agnostidae. The Middle Cambrian, according to the accepted stratigraphic code of the USSR, is divided into the Amganian and Maiyanian Stages. The Amganian deposits, in spite of their facies complexity, are characterized by similar trilobite assemblages and may be subdivided into 3 zones. The boundary between the Amganian and Maiyanian Stages is distinguished by the disappearance of characteristic Amganian species and the appearance of representatives of Anomocarioides, Metanonocare, Anopolenus, and Dorypyge. The Maiyanian beds are lithologically uniform and richly fossiliferous; this stage also includes 3 zones. Throughout the area there was continuous sedimentation across the Middle-Upper Cambrian boundary. This boundary is based on the disappearance of Lejopyge, Anomocarina, and Bonneterrina and the appearance of species of Homagnostus, Agnostus, Damesella, Buttsia, Proceratopyge, and other genera. Upper Cambrian deposits in the central Siberian north contain several facies each with different trilobite assemblages but, due to the presence of many common species, their contemporaneity may be established easily. Upper Cambrian trilobites are grouped into 3 large assemblages, the duration of each corresponding to a stage. Within each assemblage, fossils are grouped by species and genera into a total of 6 zones. It is difficult to determine the Upper Cambrian boundary in continuous sections because of monotonous rocks and the undifferentiated nature of the faunas. Middle and Upper Cambrian deposits of the Siberian north are well correlated with contemporaneous formations both within the USSR and beyond its boundaries. The mutual occurrence of forms typical of different paleozoogeographical provinces within these deposits suggests that these correlations are valid.

Cambrian and Ordovician platform strata in western North Greenland and adjacent Ellesmere Island were deposited on an elongate platform lying to the south of the Franklinian Trough. The sequence is dominated by carbonates with prominent evaporite horizons and subsidiary shales and sandstones. A transect across the platform shows changes in facies and increase in thickness from inner platform sequences in Inglefield Land and Bache Peninsula, to the south, to outer platform sequences in the Judge Daly Promontory area; clastic trough deposition characterises sections in northern Ellesmere Island. This paper briefly describes and correlates these sequences occurring around Kane Basin. The regional framework and close similarity of Cambrian and Ordovician sequences in Greenland and Canada indicate that substantial transcurrent net displacement has not taken place along Nares Strait. Of special note are narrow belts of Ordovician evaporites which cross Nares Strait from Ellesmere Island into Greenland without displacement at the present day. The continuity of these environmentally specialised belts of deposition demonstrates that net transcurrent displacement along Nares Strait since the Early Ordovician has not exceeded 50 km.

Density sections of the Upper Proterozoic-Paleozoic cis-Yenisei sedimentary basin were numerically modeled to show that the gravity mechanism was sufficient to bring about linear deformation structures. The main conditions of their formation and development have been determined. Comparative analysis of the results of modeling with variations in initial parameters shows an important role of dolomite interbeds in the formation of structures in the section of Cambrian evaporates. The specific evolution of the structures was related to the specific basin sedimentation and the subsequent tectonic evolution of the region as a whole. The conclusion has been drawn that the tectonic influence of neighboring folded zones might have triggered salt tectogenesis.

The article describes Cambrian reservoirs in the territory of the Turukhano-Irkutsk-Olekminsky facies region, which covers the territory of the southern and central parts of Eastern Siberia and Western Yakutia. In recent years, a significant amount of geological and geophysical work has been carried out on this territory, which made it possible to significantly clarify the oil and gas content of the subsalt and inter-salt Cambrian sediments. It has been shown that Cambrian carbonate horizons are characterized by incompetence of reservoir properties, which is associated with different facial conditions of sediment accumulation, as well as with the development of secondary processes.

Samples were taken from three sections of north-western slope of the Olenek uplift, northern Siberia; their stratigraphic position is given on the basis of modern data [Nagovitsin et al., 2015, and others]. Grains of layer silicates are represented by mica-smectite phyllosilicates with a relatively low content and with an elevated content of smectite layers (

––In this paper we present a stratigraphic scheme for the subdivision and correlation of the Cambrian deposits in the south of the cis-Yenisei area of West Siberia, which was adopted as a current scheme by the decision of the Interdepartmental Stratigraphic Committee in 2018. This scheme is based on the data from stratigraphic test wells (Lemok-1, Averinskaya-150, Tyiskaya-1, Vostok-1, Vostok-3, Vostok-4, etс.). In the study area, two structure-facies zones were identified: Kas (Lemok-1, Averinskaya-150, Tyiskaya-1, Vostok-4, and Eloguiskaya-1 wells), where sedimentary complexes accumulated in a salt subbasin, and Ket’ (Vostok-1 and Vostok-3 wells) with the deposition in an open sea basin. The boundary between these structure-facies zones is drawn along the inferred N–S-trending barrier reef zone. The rubrication in this paper is compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Stratigraphic Code of Russia for explanatory notes for regional stratigraphic schemes. Local stratigraphic subdivisions (formations, strata) are described and compared with the adjacent Turukhansk–Irkutsk–Olekma facies region of the Siberian Platform.
