Abstract
A new scheme of the stratigraphy and correlation of the Upper Triassic–Middle Jurassic Lozovoe zone of the Crimean Mountains based on spore–pollen data, the mineral composition of clastic and clay rocks, climate and volcanic events, facies and thickness analysis, and a general paleogeographic analysis is described. It is shown that the Lozovsky zone is not a tectonic melange. The complex structural–facies pattern is explained by consedimental tectonics, the presence of at least two olistostrome complexes in the sequence, and subsequent diverse deformations.
