A detailed lithological and stratigraphic analysis of the terrigenous formation of the Upper Triassic of the Western Caucasus has been carried out. The characteristic of the sections opened by deep wells in various tectonic zones is given. Their correlation has been performed. The stratotypic sections of the terrigenous formation are distinguished. It was found that the formation of sediments occurred in marine conditions with normal salinity.

Key words: terrigenous formation, types of sections, correlation, sedimentation conditions
