Abstract

The current work is focused on our main results concerning the tectonic evolution of the Black Sea-Greater Caucasus domain obtained during decades of detailed studies in the framework of DARIUS programme and GDRI South Caucasus Geosciences project of the CNRS/INSU. Results of this analytical work allowed us to establish a paleo-reconstruction of the whole of the southern margin of the European craton, during much of the Phanerozoic (Barrier E et al in Paleotectonic reconstruction of the Central Tethyan Realm. CCGM/CGMW, Paris, 2018 [3]). Focusing on Black Sea-Greater Caucasus domain we present a state of the art about analysis of this area, highlighting the perspectives of new investigations at question not solved by the tectonic and geodynamic evolution of these basins.
