The Cenozoic continental deposits of Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East are best described on the basis of carpological records. The palaeoclimate evolution has been reconstructed quantitatively (Coexistence Approach) providing inferred data on temperature, precipitation and the mean annual range of these parameters. | Palaeoclimate evolution in Siberia and the Russian Far East from the oligocene to pliocene – evidence from fruit and seed floras
