Journal: Proceedings
Year: 2017

Summary The results of the researches are based mainly on the interpretation of seismic reflection data along 30000 km seismic lines crossing the Ukrainian sector of the Black Sea (BS) and on geological fieldworks in the Crimea Mountains (CM). The Lower – lowermost Upper Cretaceous secession of the study area is broken into (half) grabens by rift faults having roughly SW-NE and NW-SE trends. The extensional tectonic event, which caused formation of main (half) grabens, lasted since the Albian to
