The Albian-Cenomanian rocks compose a single complex of terrigenous deposits over the Volga Region. Delineation of the boundaries of the Cretaceous system units generally tends to cause difficulties, accounted for by rare finds of the fossils. In the northern part of the DonMedveditsa dislocations, natural outcrops of the Albian and the Cenomanian beds in the Burluk river valley have been examined since the 1950s. The authors have earlier made some case studies on the Gordienki, Krasny Yar, Melovatka and Moiseyevo sections.
