title: Paleomagnetic research of the Upper Miocene sections of Taman Peninsula (Eastern Paratethys)
abstract: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Magnetostratigraphic studies currently play an important role in the dating of the Miocene sections of the Kerch-Taman region (Eastern Paratethys). The major goal of our work was the paleomagnetic and rock magnetic studies of the transient Sarmatian-Meotian deposits in order to estimate the relative age (pre- or postfolding) of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) using field tests. In order to solve this problem, during fieldwork in 2020-2021 the 280 hand-blocks at 0.1-2 m
