Abstract

Summary

The Dnieper-Donets (Ukraine) and Lorraine-Saar (France /Germany) basins are well-documented examples of sufficiently explored geological structures wherein coal mining and hydrocarbon exploration results might significantly improve geologic models. Despite the geographical remoteness, the Late Paleozoic sedimentary basins of Dnieper-Donets and Lorraine-Saar structures demonstrate similar features of tectonic patterns due to the intensive development of strike-slip tectonics. The main focus of this paper is to get an insight into the style and kinematic description of fault-and-fold arrays in these basins based on the subsurface and underground geological mapping results. Our interpretation depicts the characteristic pattern of dextral principal displacement zones in both basins. These produced not only shears but also two types of antiformes. Syn-sedimentary anticlines are intricated by flower structures and propagate along T shears. Post-sedimentary (complicated by over-thrusts) stretch parallelly to the strain ellipsoid long axis C. The inferred kinematics of master and subsidiary shears and induced fold development align with the directional stresses of the strike-slip regime governed by the NW-SE trending maximum stress axis and NE-SW trending minimal stress axis in both basins.
