We report new observations in the eastern Black Sea-Caucasus region that allow reconstructing evolution of Neotethys Cretaceous. At time, oceanic plate was subducting northward below continental Eurasia plate. Based on analysis obducted ophiolites crop out throughout Lesser Caucasus and East Anatolides, we show a spreading center (AESA basin) existed within Neotethys, between Middle Jurassic Early Later, carried into subduction with argue opened slab window allowed asthenospheric material to...
Abstract The southern part of the Eastern European continental landmass consists mainly a thick platform Vendian and younger sediments overlying Precambrian basement, referred to as East Scythian platforms (EEP SP). Some specific geological features, such Late Devonian Pripyat-Dniepr-Donets rift basin, Karpinsky Swell, Permo(?)-Triassic troughs SP, deformed belt running from Dobrogea Crimea Greater Caucasus, in which rocks old Palaeozoic crop out, form record geodynamic processes affecting...
The Scythian Platform (ScP) with a heterogeneous basement of Baikalian–Variscan–Cimmerian age is located between the East European Craton (EEC) on north and Crimean–Caucasus orogenic belt Black Sea (BS) Basin south. In order to get new constrains basin architecture crustal structure ScP better understanding tectonic processes evolution southern margin EEC during Mesozoic Cenozoic time, 630-km-long seismic wide-angle refraction reflection (WARR) profile DOBRE-5 was acquired in 2011 October....
A 3-D density model of Greece was developed by gravity modelling constrained 2-D seismic profiles. Densities were defined from velocities using the Nafe & Drake and Birch empirical functions for sediments, crust upper mantle. Sediments in North Aegean are 6 km thick, deposited transtensional basins developing dextral strike slip motion Anatolian Fault. The Cyclades, central Sea, free sediments. South Crete, Libyan sediments approximately 11 thick. At western Hellenides up to 8 thickness have...
In order to investigate the deep structure along transect Ligurian Sea - Northern Apennines Po Basin, a new gravity model was constructed on composite cross-section (465 km long) derived from published seismic profiles, geophysical data and surface (marine onland) geology.Along transect, field shows great changes: 160 mGal offshore in Sea; wide minimum of -160 onshore Basin. The corresponding density constrained by: sedimentary successions basement-crystalline crust, offshore-onshore WARR...
For the first time a seismic image of East-European Craton upper crust between Carpathians and Dnieper-Donets Basin is presented, based on finite-difference reflection/refraction migration processing SHIELD’21 deep profile results its preliminary geological interpretation, taking into account available geophysical data. The shows general domal shape top surface Archean to Palaeoproterozoic crystalline basement, which devoid sedimentary cover along central part — at Ukrainian Shield sloping...
Abstract The (Mid-) Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous was a time of widespread rifting on the East European Craton (EEC) and its margins. most prominent basin among these and, accordingly, best documented is Dniepr-Donets Basin (DDB) in Ukraine southern Russia. DDB associated with voluminous rift-related magmatism broad basement uplift. Two other large, extensional, systems developed along margins EEC at same time: Barents (EEB) onshore prolongation Timan-Pechora (TPB), Peri-Caspian...
The backarc Black Sea (BS) basin was formed in the Late Cretaceous-Palaeocene at hinterland of Pontide magmatic arc due to subduction Neotethys ocean below southern Eurasian continental margin. At present BS consists two large depressions—the West- and East-Black basins (WBS EBS) filled with thick (up 12 km) Cretaceous younger sediments underlain by a crust oceanic/suboceanic type. mask poorly investigated crystalline that is thought comprise an accretional collage microplates terranes...
Abstract A back-arc Black Sea Basin consists of two deep sub-basins – the West-Black (WBS) and East-Black (EBS) filled with thick sediments (up to 12–14 km), which are separated by mid–Black Ridge (MBSR) a NW trending basement uplift structure. For better understanding lithosphere structure these sub-basins, authors made comprehensive analysis available geological geophysical data, including carrying out three-dimensional (3D) gravity back-stripping analysis, reinterpretation number seismic...
The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is a composite magmatic arc terrane formed at the Pacific margin of Gondwana. Through late Mesozoic and Cenozoic subduction has stopped progressively from southwest to northeast as result series ridge trench collisions. Subduction may be active today in northern part AP adjacent South Shetland Islands. system confined by Shackleton Hero fracture zones. continental marked high-amplitude gravity magnetic anomaly belts reaching highest amplitudes region Islands...
Abstract The margin of the northeastern Black Sea is formed by Crimea and Kerch peninsulas, which separate it from Azov to north. age architecture sedimentary successions in this area are described exploration reflection seismic profiling acquired area, addition regional DOBRE-2 CDP profile 2007. sediments range Mesozoic Quaternary can be divided into five seismo-stratigraphic complexes linked tectono-sedimentological evolution area. present basin consists a series basement structural highs...
Abstract The tectonic evolution of the Eastern Black Sea Basin has previously been explained based on offshore and onshore data, some latter from Crimean Mountains (CM). However, changes in stratigraphy CM have recently proposed: Late Triassic–Early Jurassic Tauric Group was assigned as younger (Albian). To clarify this area, we sampled eastern for micropalaeontological datings (nannoplankton). results demonstrate an Early Cretaceous age CM. samples contained substantial amounts volcanic...
The GEORIFT 2013 (GR'13) WARR (wide-angle reflection and refraction) experiment was carried out in the territory of Belarus Ukraine with broad international co-operation. aim work is to study basin architecture deep structure Pripyat–Dnieper–Donets Basin (PDDB), which deepest best studied Palaeozoic rift Europe. PDDB located southern part East European Craton (EEC) crosses Sarmatia—one three segments EEC. formed by Late Devonian rifting associated domal basement uplift magmatism. GR'13...
Abstract A ray-tracing modelling of seismic refraction data acquired in the 1960s has been undertaken on two north–south lines – Profile 25 western part Black Sea and 28/29 crossing Azov central Sea. The velocity model along shows domains interpreted as thin (5 km) high-velocity (sub-)oceanic crust below deep-water Western (WBS) basin, covered by 12–13 km Cretaceous younger sediments, a 39 thick continental domain Scythian Platform southernmost East European Platform. They are separated...
Abstract The Greater Caucasus and southern Crimean Mountains form part of a fold–thrust belt located on the northern margin Black Sea, south Precambrian craton eastern Europe. Its limit is approximated by Main Thrust, which runs to west from onshore Russia Georgia along whole Sea. Thrust related zone present-day seismicity Crimea–Caucasus coast Sea called Seismic Zone. Thick continental crust north lies adjacent thin ‘suboceanic' or transitional Basin. A local seismic tomography study this...
