Evolution of the Inverted Pegtymel Rift Based on the Results of Kinematic Reconstruction (Chukchi Sea)

Abstract

A kinematic model was built for the seismic profile passing through the Pegtymel inverted rift (Chukchi Sea). The main stages of rift formation have been identified: (1) 125–34 Ma; (2) 34–20 Ma; (3) 20–0 Ma. The identified stages are compared with the history of the development of the Eastern Arctic.
