Structure and geodynamics of the Verkhoyansk Fold-Thrust Belt

  • Published:
Geotectonics Aims and scope

Abstract

The structure and geodynamics of the Verkhoyansk Fold-Thrust Belt and its eastern and southeastern frameworks are considered on the basis of original field observations and a survey of the literature data and more than 150 published sheets of the State Geological Map on a scale of 1 : 200 000. The important role of large-scale and long-lived strike-slip faults and associated pull-apart structures and the role of postcollision superimposed fault zones related to the reactivation of the buried Devonian Vilyui Rift and the Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic rifting are shown. The metallogenic implications of these tectonic elements are considered.
