Ukrainian shield

Purpose. To present the summary of findings of the geotectonic analysis of the basement of the Ukrainian Shield (US) and to give grounds for the specific conditions of its formation in the Early Precambrian. Methodology. Conducting analysis using the latest results of the of morphoparagenetic geological-formational studies and concepts as to the layer-block structure of the region. Results.

Purpose. Lithosphere Ukrainian shield (US) presented of the mosaic blocks that have a different configurations in a different times and belong to different continental fragment in early Archaean probably. Geodynamic models are exist in the present time of the northwestern (Volyn, Bug, Rosinsk blocks) and central (Ingul block) parts of the US that are not related. Construction of a common model geodynamic development of the entire western part of the US is not yet possible in the Proterozoic that is important to solve paleogeodynamic issues in the Precambrian.
