Structural paragenesises of the flysch complexes in the central part of the Uralian Foredeep

Resumo

The structural features of the Upper Paleozoic flysch formations in the central part of the Cis-Uralian Foredeep were studied. Three types of structural paragenesises typical of thrust zones were distinguished. Among them are west vergent inclined folds and overfolds that pass into recumbent folds near a fault plane, structured tectonic melange, local thrusts, schistosity zones, and flat slipping planes. The various structural elements extend from northwest to northeast, due to the structural heterogeneity of the allochthon, approximately parallel to the strike of the Karantrav thrust.
