Abstract. Expeditionary work carried out in 2017 and 2018 in the northwestern part of the Taimyr Peninsula by efforts of the Lenivenskaya field crew of VSEGEI, were carried out within the framework of the project “Regional geological survey work of 1: 200 000 scale per group of sheets within the Siberian Federal District in 2017-2019”. Within the framework of the Quaternary sediments studies, various levels of marine terraces, deposits of the glacier complex were described. Furthermore, the collection of malakofauna was compiled, the samples for geochronological (OSL, C¹⁴, EPR) and stratigraphic (microfaunal) studies were taken.

Keywords: Taimyr, Neopleistocene, Holocene, OSL-dating, sea terraces, Kazantsevo horizon
