The Crimean fold-thrust belt comprises the onshore Crimean-dome fold-thrust belt and the offshore Sorokin accretionary wedge, a sub-surface imbricate stack with high oil and gas potential. We combine geomorphological and balanced cross-section analyses with published low-temperature thermo¬chronolog...
