The North Crimean–Caucasian flexure–rupture zone is a boundary structure at the junction of the newest Crimean–Caucasian orogenic range and the Indol–Kuban marginal trough. It is subdivided into three segments with different evolution, which is caused by late orogenic structural reconstruction and the transformation of the early orogenic Kerch–Taman transverse trough into the late orogenic Kerch–Taman saddle-like element of the range. Thus, the segments of the flexure–rupture zone differ in stru
