On account of the analysis of the rich stratigraphic and paleontological material from the Khidikari section (Georgia) in Lower Barremian sediments three biostratigraphic zones, corresponding to the French subdivision, could be distinguished - Spitidiscus hugii, Pulchellia compressissima and Holcodiscus caillaudianus. This is the first evidence that the Lower Barremian subdivision into three zones can be applied not only in Georgia but in the vast Crimean-Caucasian region as a whole.
