. Identification of the main tectonic events by using 2D–3D seismic data in the Eastern Black Sea

Abstract

The history of tectonic evolution in the north-eastern part of the Black Sea is considered mainly based on seismic data. The main unconformities surfaces are identified and related tectonic events in the Tuapse Trough, Kerch-Taman Trough, Anapa Swell, Shatsky and Andrusov Swells, Gudauta and the East Black Sea Depression are described. The tectonostratigraphic scheme was compiled during the research. Stratigraphic column for each structural zone provide a framework for understanding the history of each phase of basin evolution in the Late Mezozoic-Cenozoic time.
