New data on the tectonics of the core of the arch uplift of the mountainous Crimea
Abstract
The main ideas about the tectonics of the Mountainous Crimea were obtained as a result of the works of K. K. Focht, A. A. Borisyak, A. S. Moiseev, V. F. Pchelintsev, M. V. Muratov, G. A. Lychagin, G. Kh. Dikenshtein and many other researchers. The material presented in this article was collected by the author during ten years of research in the Mountainous Crimea and route thematic works in the Western Caucasus. On the tectonic zoning of the Crimea. The Mountainous Crimea is a fragment of a large inherited arch uplift of Neogene age. The southeastern part and southwestern pericline of this uplift are cut off by northeastern and northwestern faults and are submerged in the Black Sea. The northwestern wing of the Neogene uplift dips gently towards the Plain Crimea and, judging by the occurrence of Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments, is associated with the marginal structures of the platform part of the peninsula – the Alma Syneclise and the Simferopol uplift – without significant disjunctive faults ....
