Abstract
By the example of West Siberia, it has been shown that paleocarpology permits quite a detailed division of the continental Cenozoic of closed territories, which is unattainable by other paleontological methods. In the range from Aquitanian to Gelasian, ten biostratigraphic zones have been recognized, whose sum covers the complete stratigraphic interval of the section.
