Actualized stratigraphic scheme of Paleocene deposits of the Crimea and Kerch peninsula is presented in the article. This scheme has been made based on the results of compilation and analysis of data of litology and paleontology, of using biostratigraphic developments of different micro and macro fossils and of modern views in stratigraphy. Research has been carried out within requirements of Stratigraphical Code of Ukraine (2012). Modern International Stratigraphic Chart (2012-2014) and modernized Regional stratigraphic Scale of Paleogene of Ukraine (2013) were accepted in the proposed scheme. Description and litologicalpaleontological characteristics of 13 local units of Paleocene as part of the Belokamenskian and Kachian regional stages are given. Stratigraphical volume, spreading and age of described suites and series were clarified. 5 new local units have been described in the article for the first time. Among them the Bondarenkovo suite (Belokamenskian regiostage), the Akbulat suite and the Kolodyazna series (Kachian regiostage) were proposed in the scheme of the Kerch peninsula; the Kubalach suite (Belokamenskian regiostage) and series of sandstones and siltstones (Kachian regiostage) were proposed in the scheme of the Plainland Crimea; the Kubalach suite (Belokamenskian regiostage) was propodes in the scheme of Crimea’ foothills. Duration of hiatuses, reduction of stratigraphic volume of local stratas in peripheral sections of sedimentary basins are shown at these stratigraphic schemes.
