title: On the possible analogy between the Dizi Series of the Southern slope zone of the Greater Caucasus and the folded basement of the plain Crimea: composition, metamorphism, magmatism and age
abstract: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dizi Series is exposed within the Southern slope zone of the Greater Caucasus that occurs as a complex geological structure, which constitutes an integral part of the Mediterranean (Alpine-Himalayan) collisional orogenic belt. It is built up of terrigenous and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks faunistically dated from the Devonian to Triassic inclusive (Somin, 1971; Somin, Belov, 1976; Kutelia 1983). Most of them are metamorphosed under conditions of chlorite-sericite subfacies
