The Late Devonian Prypyat-Dnieper-Donets Rift is a significant tectonic structure on the East European platform. Devonian salt domes are extensively developed within the Rift and create a system of associated traps, which often accommodate oil and gas fields. Associated with these salt domes hydrothermal deposits and occurrences of mercury and base metals are also found in the south-eastern part of the Rift, near the Donets inversion-folded structure. Diapiric breccias (cap rocks) frequently con
