Abstract

The correlation of geological events and structure-forming processes occurring contemporaneously in the inner parts of cratons and the adjacent paleooceanic basins is discussed in order to understand the effects of these processes on sedimentation and structural rearrangements. For this purpose, a series of paleodynamic reconstructions of the Riphean, Vendian, and Paleozoic epicontinental basins of the East European Platform and zones of their transition to marginal basins of the same age once situated in the Ural, Timan, Caucasus, Scandinavian fold regions and in the Scythian-Turan Plate have been performed on the basis of the available original and published data combined with interpretation of seismic profiles. As a result, a set of structural-facies maps of this territory have been compiled for several time intervals from the Late Riphean to Early Permian.
