Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper were presented the results of the lithological-sedimentological description of the core material of the Middle-Upper Jurassic deposits with additional study of the vital activity traces of organisms in Akkuduk field to determine the environmental condition and identification of facies. The Akkuduk field is characterized by a rather complicated environmental conditions and understanding of sedimentation processes. In the course of the work, 9 main ichnogenus were identified in the core samples that make up the section of the field, which contain numerous traces of the vital activity of organisms that do not differ in diversity. Associations were determined to identify facies in the section and their dependence on trace fossils. The generalization of the obtained materials enabled to build columns with the definition of facies and envionmental conditions, which subsequently can be used for conducting facies modeling in the geological model of the field. Keywords: lithology; sedimentology; ichnofossils; traces fossils; ichnofacies; facies.
