The entire Ukrainian sector of the Black Sea, which occupies its northernmost part, was studied with the interpretation of the post-1990 seismic reflection data along seismic lines having a total length of some 30 000 km. In the northern Black Sea relatively low extension of the continental crust occurred in Albian-Cenomanian times and did not cause formation of deep (sub)-oceanic basins. Rift faults formed three major rift basins. One of the ENE-WSW oriented rift basins occupied areas of the pr
