The article considers features of boundary Cretaceous–Eocene deposits in Belogorskiy district of Central Crimea. Structures interpreted as paleoseismic dislocations are described, their age, features of composition, history of formation are specified, magnitude and intensity of paleoearthquake are estimated. Steeply dipping fractures in Cretaceous rocks are regular and associated with dip and strike of the main regional structures. Their formation was caused by a transverse stretching during the
