Title: Tectonics of Southeastern Caucasus and Its Relation to the Productive Oil Fields

Author(s): I. M. Goubkin (2)

Abstract:

The principal object of this article is to show that in the zone of submergence of the Caucasian Range, which is also the zone of deep subsidence, peculiar tectonic forms were originated in the creation of which vertical pressure played an outstanding part. These forms received the name of diapiric folds. These structures, together with mud volcanoes and oil-bearing formations, form one genetic whole. In order to prove this, his fundamental thesis, the writer has made use of the extensive stratigraphic and tectonic material, as well as the data of the geological history of this region. This material has been accumulated as a result of self-sacrificing labors of the old and the young generation of geologists of the Land of the Soviets.
