Abstract
The near-Laptev part of the Eurasian basin is the area of transition from modern spreading to intraplate rifting. We propose an approach to the construction of a 3D model of the basement of the Laptev Sea part of the Eurasian basin based on the linkage of all currently available geological and geophysical data. The structure of the acoustic basement of the Eurasian basin is characterized by alternating troughs and highs in cross-section. The sparse seismic data do not allow us to directly trace the strike of these structures, but they can be correlated with the linearity established by gravity and magnetic data and related to the sequential opening of the basin. For the Laptev Sea part of the Eurasian basin, where linearity is no longer traceable from magnetic data, we propose a method of determining the strike of the basement structures on the basis of seismic stratigraphic analysis. The new 3D model of the acoustic basement in the studied area provided the basis for the tectonic scheme of the entire Eurasian basin. The model reflects the main stages of basin development: continental rifting up to 56 Ma, normal spreading 56–45 Ma, ultra-slow spreading 45–34 Ma, ultra-ultra-slow spreading 34–20 Ma. The southern part of the study area is overlain by a sedimentary cover with an age of 20 Ma and younger, which is associated with the cessation of spreading here no later than 20 Ma.
