Finds of the Caspian Pleistocene molluscs in the central part of the Russian Plain (following A. V. Krylov, D. Yu. Bolshiyanov and R. Marke Eopleistocene Mollusks in the central part of the Russian Plain and their paleogeographic significance)

The paper discusses the hypothesis of the link between the Ponto-Caspian Basin and the Barents Sea in the Pleistocene through the central part of the Russian Plain along the paleo-Don and paleo-Volga river valleys. Based on field data and paleontological investigation, the authors arrived at the conclusion that this hypothesis is invalid.
