Abstract

The taxonomic composition of acanthomorphic acritarchs from the Vendian terrigenous deposits of the Prepatom, Nepa–Botuoba, Syugdzhera, and Anabar structural-facies districts of the Siberian Platform was studied. We found acanthomorphic microfossils at three stratigraphic levels: in the lower and upper parts of the Nepa Regional Stage and in the lower subformation of the Byuk Formation of the Tira Regional Stage. Monographic description of new acritarchs Tanarium longidigitatum sp. nov., Tuberculum proteum sp. nov., Uniexcrescentia tubulosa gen. et sp. nov., and Pterospermopsimorpha mutabilis sp. nov. was carried out.
