Abstract. Field observations were performed on the Ust-Zhom-Bolok lava cover of the Oka basin in the southeastern part of Eastern Sayans. In the Sailag and Nomto-Gol sections, loess-like deposits, underlying and overlying the lava cover, were identified. It is inferred that the lava cover erupted in conditions of a dry cold climate at the end of the Pleistocene and was dissected by the Oka River in conditions of a warmer climate and abundant water content of the territory in the Holocene.

Keywords: basalts, loess-like deposits, alluvium, Holocene, late Pleistocene, Eastern Sayans.

P. 164–178
