A review of evidence for deformation and terrane accretion on the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic margins of Pangaea and the mid-Cretaceous margins of the palaeo-Pacific ocean shows that deformation was global and synchronous with probable superplume events. Late Triassic-Early Jurassic deformation appears to be concentrated in the period 202–197 Ma and was coeval with eruption of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province, onset of Pangaea break-up, a period of extended normal magnetic polarity and a major mass extinction event, all possible expressions of a superplume event. Mid-Cretaceous deformation occurred in two brief periods, the first from approximately 116 Ma to 110 Ma in the west palaeo-Pacific and the second from roughly 105 Ma to 99 Ma in the east palaeo-Pacific, with both events possibly represented in northeast Siberia. This deformation was coeval with eruption of major oceanic plateaux, core-complex formation and rifting of New Zealand from Gondwana, the Cretaceous normal polarity epoch, and a major radiation of flowering plants and several animal groups, all linked with the mid-Cretaceous superplume event. A simple unifying mechanism is presented suggesting that large continental or oceanic plates, when impacted by a superplume, tend to break-up/reorganize, associated with gravitational spreading away from a broad, thermally generated topographic high and with a resulting short-lived pulse of plate-marginal deformation and terrane accretion.

“…The tectonic inversion of the Donbas is Mesozoic (Latest Triassic and Latest Cretaceous) and not Permian (Stovba and Stephenson 1999;Saintot et al 2003) as classically described and presented as such in figure 1. The Permian tectonics of the Donbas is tensional leading to a rift reactivation associated with salt diapirism Stephenson 1999, 2003).…”

“…In time and at large scale, the Late Devonian and the Triassic periods were both the early stages of a continental crust thinning process leading to the formation of continental marine basins Stovba and Stephenson 1999;Nikishin et al 1998a, b). Nevertheless the geodynamic setting of these basins is still under discussion especially for the Late Devonian time slice.…”

“…At the onset of lithospheric extension in Middle Devonian time, the Proterozoic Priazov and Voronezh Massifs, to the west of the Donbas area, underwent passive rifting with a shallow marine sedimentation Alekseev et al 1996). During the Late Devonian, continental rifting associated with basement uplift, fluviatile sedimentation and subaerial basaltic volcanism occurred from the Pripyat-Dniepr-Donets system in the south to the Barents Sea in the north (Chirvinskaya and Sollogub 1980;Wilson and Lyashkevich 1996;Stovba and Stephenson 1999;McCann et al 2003).…”

“…The basin, approximately 200 km wide and 700 km long (Fig. 1), it is located on the southern rampart of the East European craton between the Voronezh crystalline massif to the northeast and the Ukrainian crystalline massif to the southwest, and extends from the Baltic Sea to the Caspian Sea across Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia (Aisenverg et al, 1975;Khain, 1985Khain, , 1994Stovba et al, 1996;Stovba and Stephenson, 1999). The basin is filled with 7 to 16 km of Silurian-Devonian prerift and synrift volcano-siliciclastics and Carboniferous-Lower Permian postrift sedimentary strata with the thickness of the deposits increasing from the central and westernmost Dniepr-Donets Trough the Donets Basin (Chekunov, 1994;Stovba et al, 1996;Ulmishek, 2001).…”

A model of cyclic recurrence (~0. 6 -1.2 myr) of three fusulinid assemblages in the Middle Pennsylvanian siliciclastic-carbonate succession of the Donets Basin is proposed. Each cycle records progressive turnover of assemblages in shallow marine environments in response to sea-level and regional climate change. A Hemifusulina-assemblage (A), adapted to cooler and reduced salinity seawater records the onset of sea level rise accompanied by humid climatic conditions. Sea level high stand is captured by the Beedeina-Neostaffella-OzawainellaTaitzehoella (or Beedeina-dominated) assemblage (B), characteristic of relatively deeper-water environments. The B assemblage is successively replaced by the most diverse population of the warm-water Fusulinella-dominated assemblage (C). This assemblage, which occurs in the upper limestones of each fusulinid cycle records the onset of sea level fall accompanied by a shift to drier conditions and likely increased seawater salinity.The proposed model permits robust interbasinal correlation of the Pennsylvanian successions of the Tethyan realm. Fusulinids of the A and C 2 assemblages are the most provincial and therefore the most useful for paleogeographic reconstructions. Specifically, they delineate originally contiguous regions that subsequently were dispersed hundreds to thousands of kilometers, whereas fusulinids of the B assemblage hold the highest potential for global correlation. Extinction at the Moscovian -Kasimovian transition of fusulinid genera of the A and B assemblages, which inhabited predominately cooler and normal salinity (perhaps hyposaline) waters, can be explained by the onset of global warming in the earliest Late Pennsylvanian. Fusulinid assemblages define various types of distribution patterns that differ by tectonic setting of the studied basins suggesting that fusulinid assemblage patterns hold potential for reconstructing the paleogeography and tectonic evolution of Pennsylvanian basins of eastern Laurasia.
