The reconstruction of the sedimentation conditions and insular land landscapes on the site of modern Crimean Mountains for the Late Bajocian based on spore-pollen data, the mineral composition of clay rocks, textures and facies analysis and general paleogeographic analysis.It is shown that sublatitudinally elongated insular land had a width 30 km, the height not more than 1 km, steep northern slopes with mudflows and low-angle southern slopes with extensive river system.
