The Manzurka alluvium is a polychronous complex of accumulations of sand and pebbles in the Pliocene-Early Pleistocene Proto-Manzurka paleovalley. Layers of fine-grained (aleurite and clay) material are rare in the alluvium. In the earliest (Buguldeika) alluvial horizon of the paleovalley, a 3-meter lacustrine lens of horizontally layered fine-fragmented sediments was found, in which a fairly uniform composition of spore-pollen spectra was determined and a distinct change in lithogeochemical indicators from weak weathering of material in the foot to strong – in the roof of the lens was revealed. From change in the lithogeochemical characteristics of the lacustrine sediments, an episode of early Pliocene paleoclimatic variations of cold and heat was established. It occurred on background of the conservative existence of forest vegetation of warm and humid climate.

Keywords: South of Siberia, Cis-Baikal region, sedimentary deposits, Pliocene, Quaternary period, lithology, palynology.
