Generalized crystalline geology data regarding the central area of the Nistru basin

Abstract

The paper presents an attempt to generalize the crystalline geology data from the north-eastern region of the Republic of Moldova (which coincides with the central area of the Nistru basin), where the rocks of the Ukrainian Crystal Shield begin to be covered with the sedimentary rocks of the platform and are accessible to direct research. The proposed study is a synthesis of data from the archives of geological institutions and is based on the results of geological mappings carried out by a group of researchers who worked together with the author of this article, starting with the design stages and following on-the-field research, performing laboratory analyzes and completing with the summary of the data obtained. From this point of view, the geological vision of the author is common with the team members – Anatol Zaharov, Galina Fedorenko, Vladimir Sergheev, Valentin Ryborak.
