Field-works The field investigations took place at the different regions : South Ural and Transuralian, West Siberia, Russian Far East, North Caucasus and Volga River Basin.
The main directions of the Paleogene sequences researches were: 1) Paleogene biosphere events on K/T, P/E, E/O boundaries, their causes and consequences, (Akhmetiev M., Beniamovsky V., Gavrilov Yu., Zaporozhets N., Tscherbinina E. et al.), 2) More detailed biostratigraphical studying aleogene deposits Sambian Peninsula (Baltic sea coast), first of all, using organic walled phytoplankton, pollen and spores. 3. Correlation of Paleocene and Eocene stratigraphic subdivisions Volga River Right bank area deep bore-holes sections to the east of Saratov town by nannoplankton and dinocysts (Vassilieva O., Mussatov V.), 4) North West Pacific Paleogene Diatom stratigraphy worked out by Gladenkov Yu and Oreshkina T. (Kamchatka, Sakhalin), 5) Early Paleogene Stratigraphy and Flora, problem of K/T boundary (International Project support Chinese Ac. Sci) (Russian participants: Kodrul T, Kezina T., Markevich V., Akhmetiev M.), 6) The Cretaceous and Early Paleogene Phytostratigraphy North Eastern Russia (Koryakia) and Northern Alaska (Herman A., Moisseeva M.), 7). Paleogene Evolution of Flora by the biotic and abiotic background. Preliminary results of this theme were presented at Bilbao Meeting (Akhmetiev, Beniamovsky).

Annual Report 2007 on the activity of the Russian Paleogene Commission

The Paleogene Commission of the All-Russian Stratigraphical Committee (33 constant members and 5 foreign members) represented different organizations of the Russian Acad. Sci., Ministry of the Natural Researches, State Museums and Universities.
In 2006 Members of Commission took part in 11 International and All-Russian meetings and prepared 28 presentations on different problems of Paleogene stratigraphy, paleontology, paleogeography, events etc.

Directions of investigations (2007:
1. Working out and perfection of the Regional zonal scheme of Russia by different biotic groups.
2. Studying of intervals Paleogene biotic and abiotic events, with their reflections on sedimentation and biota.
3. Monographic study and descriptions important groups of biota.
4. Field investigations with complex paleontological, magnetostratigraphical and isotopic-geochemical studying the main Regional reference sections.
