Deformational structures (tectonic planes with slickensides, folds, parageneses of fractures) аre described in the Upper Cretaceous — Neogene sediments of the southwestern Crimea. The purpose of the study is to clarify the scope and types of deformation in the Alpine orogenese stage. Strike-slip planes are dominated in the studied structures. Slickensides of reverse and thrust type account for 20% of all fractures. Deformations of various types are concentrated in the most plastic rocks and weak
