A.I. Khuduzadeh

The article deals with the sedimentology processes in thrust-fault fields of South Caspian basin in the direction of north-eastern PaleoVolga, as well as structural formation of these fields. The changes in sea level, the development of alternation, formation and morphological parameters of accumulated sediments have been studied. It was defined that hypsometrically similar fields are strongly differ by lithofacial parameters that are stipulated by physical-geographical conditions. The observation of turbidity flows, disjunctive dislocations in various time periods in lower and upper parts of Productive Series along with the longitudinal fault zones nearby formation top is the reflection of the fact that the tectonic factors played a significant role in fields’ formation.
