Institute of Geological Sciences, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine) pdf: pdf summary: The taphonomic and ecological features of the predominantly non-marine fauna and terrestrial flora from two deltaic sandstones in the middle part of the Mospinka Formation (Upper Bashkirian, Lower Pennsylvanian) were studied. The non-marine fauna of the Carboniferous of the Donets Basin is extremely poorly studied. Currently, many groups of animals living beyond the marine environment are known from here (non-marine bivalves, horseshoe crabs, eurypterids, arachnids, insects, ostracods, сirripeds, conchostracs, cycloids and fishes). They have great stratigraphic and paleogeographic significance. Fossil soils from the Bashkirian Stage of the Donets Basin were first studied. In the studied sandstones, the presence of the most ancient red-bedded sediments in the Carboniferous of the Donets Basin was noted. This circumstance, together with the specifics of the composition of communities of peat-forming plants, indicates that during the accumulation of deposits of the Mospinka Formation, against the background of a predominantly humid climate, episodes of temporary increase in climate dryness arose. Microbially induced sedimentary textures in the Carboniferous deposits of the Donets Basin were studied for the first time. For many taxa of fossil plants, the vertical distribution in the section of the Carboniferous of the Donets Basin is specified. The oldest community of non-marine bivalves in the Carboniferous of the so-called Open Donets Basin was studied. In both sandstone beds, the presence of remains and traces of locomotion of giant arthropods of the genus Arthropleura was recorded. Together with them, fossils of large horseshoe crabs and insects are observed. The composition of the richest ichnocenosis in the Carboniferous sediments of the Donets Basin was studied. Among ichnofossils, a trace of a tetrapoda locomotion, as well as traces of arthropods activity on plant organs should be especially noted. Deltaic deposits are rich in orictocenoses, which is associated with a variety of living conditions of organisms and the burial of their remains. The new data obtained are of great importance for reconstructing the living conditions of organisms at the sea-land boundary. The performed studies showed great prospects for studying the non-marine fauna of the Carboniferous of the Donets Basin in order to corellate marine and continental sediments of the Carboniferous of Laurasia.
