Territorial inventories of geosites remain on the international agenda, and they can help in acquiring information for solving pure geological research tasks. New field investigations northern part Mountainous Adygeya (geoheritage-rich territory western Greater Caucasus) permitted us to extend our knowledge its geosites. Five were described qualitatively assessed semi-quantitatively, namely Polkovnitskaya River Valley (ammonite-bearing concretions Aptian glauconitic sandstones), Little Khadzhokh (Aptian sandstones with fossils trace fossils), Shakhan Middle (Upper Jurassic variegated siliciclastics, Hauterivian fluvial deltaic sandstones, mixed ancient modern clastic material), Big Khadzhoh Waterfall (splendid waterfall exposures locally folded Oxfordian–Kimmeridgian limestones), Verblyud Mountain (small, camel-shaped cuesta’s remnant). They ranked nationally (one geosite), regionally (three geosites), geosite). Close examination considered register peculiarities (changes dip direction between sedimentary packages), which indicate tectonic activity across Jurassic–Cretaceous transition. Additionally, complex accessibility patterns established some geosites, these should be addressed further refinements semi-quantitative approaches geosite assessment.

Granitoids are known to crop out on ancient seashores, but the related geological evidence remains limited. The information from Western Caucasus sheds light stratigraphical distribution of coarse siliciclastic beds associated with late Carboniferous granitoids Dakh, Rafabgo, and Sakhray crystalline massifs. For purposes this study, available was reviewed verified against modern scales. It is established that considered sisliciclastic occur at five levels Triassic–Jurassic succession. A rocky seashore granitoid exposures existed for a short time around probably Rufabgo massifs very beginning Triassic. Dakh Massif possessed such shore twice (at least), i.e., in Norian–Rhaetian Early Toarcian. However, it cannot be excluded shores persisted there >50 Ma. Generally, provides an example Mesozoic seashores adds knowledge global Triassic Jurassic periods.
