Folding at inversion of paleorift sedimentary basin (on the example of Dnieper-Donets aulakogen)

The article focuses on the formation mechanisms of fold’s diversity of sedimentary basin inversion. They are investigated on the example of structures of the Dnieper-Donets paleorift system. To achieve this aim we systematized structural and lithofacial data of the Dnieper-Donets basin and Donbas; used numerical modelling to establish the regularities of deformations within lithosphere and sedimentary cover in collisional compression setting.
