To better understand and update knowledge of the stratigraphy and foraminiferal and conodont faunal successions of Bashkirian-Moscovian(Pennsylvanian/Upper Carboniferous)boundary intervals in the Donets Basin of Ukraine, we studied the C2 to C2 suites(Limestones F to L) of the following eight stratigraphic sections located in the eastern part of the basin. These are the Karaguz, Volnukhino, Kriven’ky Yar, Rudnya, Zolotaya, and Malonikolaevka sections in Lugansk county and the Soroch’ya and Kholodnaya sections in Donetsk county. Among them, the Malonikolaevka section, which is located about 35 km southwest of Lugansk and is documented for the first time in this study, provides important data on the faunal successions of the Bashkirian-Moscovian boundary interval, ranging from Limestones I2 to K3. Both the conodont and fusuline faunas record the appearances in the basal part of the C2(K)Suite of several new taxa that are more characteristic of the early Moscovian. These forms include Declinognathodus donetzianus at the top of K1 in conodonts and Eofusulina triangula, E. trianguliformis, and a large Neostaffella species(N. vozhgalica)at K2 in fusulines. Thus, the K1-K2 interval is very promising as the potential position of the formal Bashkirian-Moscovian boundary in the Donets Basin. The data from the Malonikolaevka section, together with those from other sections in the present study, would be significant for future investigations of the Task Group to establish a GSSP close to the existing Bashkirian-Moscovian Boundary organized in IUGS Subcommission on Carboniferous Stratigraphy(SCCS).
