The results of investigations of carbonate microfacies of Upper Jurassic deposits in the South and West of Ukraine are represented. The greatest diversity of microfacies types are observed in Ukrainian Precarpathians (19 types of Standard microfacies), much less of ones are in Pre-Dobrogea depression (11) and Southeastern Crimea (8). The belonging of these sediments to standard facies zones of carbonate shelf are determined. 11 Standard microfacies types are identified in Upper Jurassic deposits in Yalta Amphitheatre (Mountain Crimea). The features of sedimentary conditions in different parts of paleobasin are characterized.
