Abstract
The Caucasus is a central segment of the Mediterranean Alpine-Himalayan collisional orogenic system and consists of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus orogens and intermountain depression. There are numerous layers of volcanic ashes in the late Miocene marine sediments (dated paleontologically) of the Eastern Caucasus intermountain depression. The ashes consist primarily of hornblende, pyroxene, and volcanic glass (Skhirtladze, 1964). The thickness of the layers varies between 5 m to several decimeters, while their distribution area is wide and includes the Kartli and Kakheti regions in Georgia and the western region of Azerbaijan
