title: Geometry and Cenozoic evolution of the Crimean fold-thrust belt from cross-section balancing and kinematic forward modeling
abstract: The Crimean fold-thrust belt comprises the onshore Crimean-dome fold-thrust belt and the offshore Sorokin accretionary wedge, a sub-surface imbricate stack with high oil and gas potential. We combine geomorphological and balanced cross-section analyses with published low-temperature thermo¬chronology and offshore seismic data to constrain both its present geometry and Cenozoic structural evolution. We interpret the Crimean dome as a map-scale, ramp-related antiform above the Main Crimean thrust,
