pdf New data about the age of the Dershor Formation (Lower Devonian) on the Chernyshev swell (Timan-Pechora petroleum province)
Lithological and biostratigraphical studies of the stratotyp section of the Lower Devonian Dershor Formation, represented in outcrops in the north of the Chernyshev swell, have been carried out. In the section of the Dershor Formation, a sequence of five conodont associations of different taxonomic structure and age has been established: ass. I c Pelekysgnathus of Early Devonian age, ass. II c Lanea of Middle Lochkovian age, ass. III c Pandorinellina cf. optima of Middle Lochkovian age, ass. IV c Pandorinellina exigua cf. philipi of Late Lochkovian age and ass. V with Pandorinellina cf. paridens of the Late Lochkovian – Pragian age. The species Amydrotaxis cf. chattertoni, Oulodus astriatus, Ozarkodina cf. mashkovae, Zieglerodina cf. paucidentata and Pandorinellina cf. paridens were identified for the first time in the conodont fauna of the Dershor Formation.
As a result of the conodonts study from this typical section of Dershor Formation, isolated in the volume of the Ovinparm regional stage, the problem of the presumably younger (Sotchemkyrt) age of the strata of the greater upper part of the Dershor Formation is identified.

Keywords: conodont, stratotyp section, Lower Devonian, Dershor Formation, Lochkovian Stage, Ovinparm regional stage, Sotchemkyrt regional stage, Chernyshev swell, Timan-Pechora petroleum province.

pdf  Silurian and Lower Devonian petroleum source rocks of the Chernov Ridge (Timan-Pechora Basin, Russia)
The article presents the results of geochemical research of Silurian and Lower Devonian sequences on the Chernov ridge. The main part of the section is represented by petroleum source rocks with (TOC concentrations of 0,1–0,5%). Petroleum source rocks with increased contents of organic matter (> 0,5%) belong to clay-carbonate intervals in Silurian part of the section and layers of bituminous dolomites in the Lower Devonian. The hydrocarbon composition of the saturated fraction of bitumen in the Silurian-Lower Devonian deposits show a sapropel organic matter, probably of a different genetic types – plankton and marin algae. The isotopic composition of organic carbon (?13С, ‰) of bitumen part (30,1–32,6‰) and kerogen component (30,9–31,1‰) confirms the sapropel genesis of organic matter. The level of catagenetic transformation, estimated by the conodont colour alteration index, indicates that the Silurian-Lower Devonian deposits are in the main zone of oil generation (subdivision of the catagenesis MK1-2). The process of hydrocarbon generation is confirmed by the presence of bitumen throughout the section of the Silurian and Lower Devonian sequences.

Keywords: Silurian and Lower Devonian sequences, source rock, organic matter, bitumen, isotopic composition of organic carbon, Chernov ridge, Timan-Pechora Basin.
