摘要

Geosites are sources of the knowledge of diverse geological phenomena, including carbonate rocks. The Sakhray Canyon geosite represents several geological features of the Western Caucasus. Field and laboratory investigations indicated on its lateral differences. Four segments of the geosite, five entrance points, and five principal localities were established. This geosite represents Carboniferous granitoids and seven Lower Triassic–Middle Jurassic sedimentary packages. Particularly, the latter include Lower Triassic deep-marine platy limestones, Upper Triassic relatively shallow- or deep-marine reefal limestones, and Middle Jurassic shallow-marine encrinites. These carbonate packages correspond to the early–middle Mesozoic episodes of global carbonate sedimentation. This study permitted to characterize configuration, visibility, scenery, infrastructure, and accessibility of the segments of the Sakhray Canyon geosite and to prove its importance to the international geological research.
