Eight dinocyst-based and three spore- and pollen-based biostratigraphic units are defined in the Kimmeridgian, Volgian, and Hauterivian of the Gorodishchi section, based on a biostratigraphic analysis of the successions of marine and terrestrial palynomorphs. Algological assemblages are described in more detail, and additional criteria for the definition of dinocyst zones established by previous researches are given. A more detailed biostratigraphic subdivision of the middle part of the Volgian is proposed. A local dinocyst zone in the Hauterivian and a biostratigraphic succession of spore-pollen units in the entire section are described for the first time. The research results demonstrate that the boundaries of many palynostratigraphic units exhibit a considerable correlation potential. Based on a biofacies analysis of the microphytoplankton, the dynamics of transgressive-regressive events is studied in relation to the accompanying oxygen and trophic conditions. Possible relationships between marine paleoenvironments and climatic changes reconstructed on the basis of spore-pollen data are discussed.
