The post-Cenomanian sedimentary sequence of the East Messo-Yakha oil and gas field in the southern Gydan Peninsula comprises twelve lithological units (beds) correlated to Upper Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Quaternary regional stratigraphic stages and formations. The facies of the sedimentary units are constrained from lithology and microfossils. The stratigraphic division is based on bio-stratigraphy (fauna and spore-pollen assemblages), paleomagnetism, and geochronology (quartz and feldspar grains dated by optically stimulated luminescence). The deposition record is interrupted by six large stratigraphic unconformities. The obtained data provide new insights into the Late Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Quaternary paleogeography of the area.
