mosquensis STUCKENBERG. Similar chaetetid biostromes are described in similar stratigraphic levels in the
Moscow region and the USA (WEST & CLARK 1984).
An Upper Carboniferous (Gzhelian) bioherme was earlier described in the same section. It is algal
buildup up to 5,2 m in size that is associated with limestone О6 1 .
Thus, our data show that the formation of buildups occurred at various stages during the development
of the Donets paleobasins. However, the compositions of bioconstructors have changed over time. In
general, the appearance of the Carboniferous buildups in the Donets Basin corresponds to the periods of
maximum diversity of various marine organisms.
