The Terek-Caspian fold-and-thrust belt along the northern flank of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range together with the adjacent foreland basin is one of the oldest oil-producing regions in Russia. Despite the long history of exploration, recently acquired seismic data has provided new insights about the structural architecture and evolution of this area. Its structural development during the Neogene was constrained by a syn-extensional tectonic fabric inherited from Jurassic rifting and extension of the Great Caucasus Basin. The structural framework of this basin controlled the distribution of syn-extensional deposits, and the Cenozoic reactivation of lateral ramps resulted in along-strike variations in structural style. Thus western, central and SE segments of the Terek-Caspian foldbelt are recognised and are referred to here as the Terek-Sunzha fold zone, the Dagestan Promontory, and the Maritime Zone in southern Dagestan.

terek-里海褶皱带的结构和演化：区域地震数据的新见解

沿大高加索山脉北翼的捷列克-里海褶皱冲断带连同相邻的前陆盆地是俄罗斯最古老的产油区之一。尽管勘探历史悠久，但最近获得的地震数据为该地区的结构结构和演化提供了新的见解。它在新近纪期间的结构发展受到侏罗纪裂谷和大高加索盆地伸展的同向构造构造的制约。该盆地的构造格架控制着同向伸展沉积物的分布，新生代侧向斜坡的再活化导致构造样式的沿走向变化。因此西方，
