We have studied an Upper Devonian volcanoterrigenous carbonate complex in the north of the Kuznetsk trough. The northern part of the complex is subducted beneath the Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary cover of the West Siberian geosyneclise. Analysis of sedimentologic processes, the nature and specific composition of pyroclastic impurity, and the petrographic and chemical compositions of sedimentary rocks makes it possible to reconstruct the facies and geodynamic settings. It is shown that the fine-grained pyroclastic material is predominantly of andesite composition, whereas felsic and mafic volcanic components are subordinate. In the transition from the lower Frasnian to the Famennian, the content of felsic pyroclastic component increases. The geodynamic settings of the shelf and continental slope of the Siberian continent up to its base have been established. Facies analysis shows that the slope is west-facing (in the present-day coordinates). The deposits accumulated mainly in the basin; these are fine-grained terrigenous rocks, fine-grained limestones, slope landslide breccias and olistostromes, turbidites, and "conglomerate-like limestones" (paleoseismites). According to the geochemical data, the Late Devonian paleogeodynamic setting was stable and corresponded to the setting of an active continental margin. Arid to semihumid lithogenesis has been established. Marine sediments formed in an oxidizing environment with good water aeration.
