The structure of the Miocene sediments in the Southeastern Escarp of the Fiolent Cape in Southwest Crimea

Structural and morphological analysis of the Miocene sediments that build up the Mekenzievi rock sequence at the Fiolent Cape made it possible to define the major characteristics of its inner structure. The largely homogeneous carbonate sediments are composed of clinoform complexes and bodies that fill in erosion paleochannels. The Mekenzievi rock sequence was formed under tectonic activity in the basin with intensive hydrodynamics. Most of the Mekenzievi rock sequence is dated as Early Chokrakian.
