In the article the first results of researches of joints and slickensides from outcroppings in the valley of the Sukil River are given. In 37 points of the flysh deposits of thrusts: Orivska, Skolivska and Parashka about 1100 intentions of joints and 90 intentions of slickensides are executed in the different deposits strata: from the Upper Cretaceous to Oligocene formations.

This paper is concerned with the problem of the source of terrigenous material for the flysch formation of the Carpathian region. As can be seen from the analysis of geological material, the “theory of troughs”, the notion of stationary cordillera and giant waterways do not solve this problem. It is ascertained that in the Early Mesozoic, due to large-scale stratification and destruction of the earth’s crust of the northern part of Gondwana numerous microplates and granite-gneiss massifs, which have filled the Tethys Ocean, were formed.
