Abstract
Abstract: The stratigraphic scale of the Eastern Paratethys is revised based on a study of the Neogene stratotype and reference sections, their biotic characteristics, and paleomagnetic and sedimentological data. New data on the correlation of its regional subdivisions with the Central Paratethys and Mediterranean stratotypes are presented. The section “Regional

Stage Scale of the Eastern Paratethys” considers the history of identification and a brief description of the horizons of the regional scale, which later became regional stages, as well as their historical stratotypes and lectostratotypes, and division into Beds and Substages. The section “History of Separate Biota Groups” provides reviews on the most important groups of fauna, phytoplankton, and terrestrial vegetation, as well as on magnetostratigraphy, the possibility of correlation and dating of sections based on these data, and comparison with the Central Paratethys and stratotypes of the Mediterranean. In conclusion, the main results of the revision of the stratigraphic scheme of the Neogene of the Eastern Paratethys are given.

We express special thanks to E.P. Radionova, N.Yu. Filippova, I.S. Patina, and V.M. Trubikhin (Geological Institute Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow), A.V. Guzhov (Borissiak Paleontological Institute, Moscow), A.S. Zastrozhnov (All-Russia Research Geological Institute, St. Petersburg), K. Koiava (Geological Institute, University, Tbilisi), and Yu.V. Vernigorova and N.I. Dykan’ (Institute of Geological Sciences, Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences), who are our constant companions in field studies and co-authors in general publications that served as a basis for this study. We are also grateful to our reviewers T.B. Leonova and Yu.B. Gladenkov for careful reading of this paper and valuable remarks. Funding Information: The biostratigraphic part of this research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (grant no. 22-17-00047, https://rscf.ru/project/22-17-00047 ). The cyclostratigraphic section was supported by grant no. 19-77-10075 from the Russian Science Foundation. Micropaleontological and phytoplankton studies were performed under the state assignment of the Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences.
