Deformations in tertiary complexes of western Kamchatka (Tochilo section)

The eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk and the western Kamchatka Peninsula are occupied by the Western Kamchatka Trough filled with Cenozoic sediments. Its basement is composed of Jurassic-Cretaceous volcanogenic-terrigenous rocks characterized by a fold-thrust structure. The western part of the Kam...

Description
Summary:The eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk and the western Kamchatka Peninsula are occupied by the Western Kamchatka Trough filled with Cenozoic sediments. Its basement is composed of Jurassic-Cretaceous volcanogenic-terrigenous rocks characterized by a fold-thrust structure. The western part of the Kamchatka Peninsula is poorly exposed; therefore, study of the coastal cliffs is of key importance for understanding of the structure of Tertiary complexes, which is, in turn, significant for interpretation of geodynamics of the northeastern Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka Peninsula region and reliable assessment of its petroleum resource potential.
