title: Paleomagnetism and magnetostratigraphy of Tarkhanian sediments of the Eastern Paratethus (Skelya section, Kerch peninsula, Crimea) &amp;#160;
abstract: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A detailed paleomagnetic study of Tarkhanian sediments of Skelya section was carried out with the goal to obtained magnetostratigraphy data. The Skelya section is located on the Azov sea side of Kerch peninsula, Crimea (45&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;o&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;42&amp;amp;#8242;N, 36&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;o&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;53&amp;amp;#8242;E). The Tarkhanian sediments of Skelya section are represented mainly of clays and have a total thickness of ~ 100 m. According to GTS (2012),
