Introduction. In terms of studying the
deep structure of the lithosphere of the Uk-
rainian Shield geotraverse IV is the key one
because of its location in the territory of al-
most all megablocks of the shield and the
cross section across the stretch of such deep
fault zones, as Talnivska, Kryvorizsko-Kre-
menchutska and Orihovo-Pavlogradska, which
define the tectonic zoning of the Ukrainian
Shield, and, accordingly, suture zones � Ho-
lovanivsk, Inguletsko-Kryvorizka and Oriho-
vo-Pavlogradska.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH�S CRUST ... OF IV GEOTRAVERSE OF DSS ...
Ãåîôèçè÷åñêèé æóðíàë ¹ 1, Ò. 41, 2019 173
Within Pobuzkyi ore area the geotraverse
crosses the Holovanivsk high gravity in the
latitudinal direction (Fig. 1) and passes near
the well-known basic massifs � Troianskyi
and Tarasivskyi and slightly to the north of
the region of the surface of the crystalline
basement of abnormally large amounts (mo-
re than 100) areas of serpentine and peri-
dots, which are associated with the develo-
pment of deposits of silicate nickel and
chromites. This has given the interpretati-
on of the seismic data obtained here a lot
of weight.
The re-interpretation of the results of the
research with the method DSS geotraverse
IV was made in early 2000-ies [Trypolsky,
Sharov, 2004], and more recently the re-
sults of the research method DSS on the
part of geotraverse IV the authors delibe-
rately revised in order to clarify the seis-
mic section in the Holovanivsk area of high
gravity (PK 320�360). This was provided
by a detailed system of observations. In the
earth�s crust at depths of 2�60 km from a
number of seismic sites and points of dif-
fraction can be obtained that gives the op-
portunity to build an objective picture of
the deep structure of the study of geotra-
verse. To the west of PK 360 for the lack of
a detailed system of observations it was
impossible.
In previous interpretations, the seismic
section approximately at the depth of the
Moho boundary was extended westward to
PK 410 [Sollogub, Trypolsky, 1969; Sollogub
et al., 1972; Subbotin et al., 1976; Sollogub,
1986; Trypolsky et al., 1984, 1988]. Later, du-
ring the reanalysis of seismic materials, this
part of the section was partially removed or
reviewed [Trypolsky, Sharov, 2004]. The re-
ason for this removal was as follows.
First, in this segment of the seismic pro-

file, work was done under the condition of
the lack of a detailed system of observati-
ons. Second, a significant part of the deep
constructions was carried out due to the
partial absence of reverse hodographs,
agreed upon at mutual points. This led to
the poor quality of the results, which forced
to abandon them almost completely.
Observations on geo-traverse IV were
carried out by the method of continuous

profiling provided for the registration of the
system of direct and reverse hodographs
of the main waves agreed upon at mutual
points. The distance between the explosion
points was 20�35 km, the length of conti-
nuous hodographs � up to 250�350 km,
the distance between the recorders � 100 m.
Under frequency registration are 7�20 Hz
and velocity of propagation of seismic waves
in the range 5.7�8.3 km/s wavelengths
changed in the range of 200�1200 m (most-
ly 400�700 m). The distance between the
recorders was significantly less than half
the wavelength that provided a reliable cor-
relation of all waves recorded during field
observations.
In general, the section has features that
are typical for the most of the DSS profiles
in the territory of the Ukrainian Shield. In
the upper part of the section at depths of
0�14 km refracted waves ê
0P can be seen
everywhere in the distance of 0�80�120
km from the point of excitation (Fig. 2).
At depths of 5�13 km on a segment of
PK 295�350 the layer with the lowered
velocity below which the seismic boundary
K2 that represents a sole of this layer lies is
observed. With the exception of this layer,
the velocities in the Earth�s crust gradually
and continuously increase to the depth of
the Moho boundary (Fig. 3).
In comparison with previous interpreta-
tions of the considered part of geotraverse
[Sollogub, 1986, p. 85, Fig. 31; Trypolsky,
Sharov, 2004, p. 26, Fig. 9] the section of
the Earth�s crust is considerably refined.
In the upper part of the Earth�s crust
(depth 0�5 km) velocity compared to their
normal values increased (the difference is
0.1�0.2 km/s). With depth, the measure
of velocity increase gradually decreases
from + 0.18 km/s at a depth of 15 km to
+ 0.04 km/s at a depth of 40 km.
Velocity in the horizontal direction chan-
ges mostly insignificantly. The exception is
the area of PK 340�335, where at depths
of 18�30 km there are local maxima of
velocities (the area of the deep fault), which
corresponds to the maximum of the gravi-
tational curve and may indicate the con-
centration at these depths of rocks of more
basic composition.
In the time interval between the soles of
the layer with reduced velocity and reflect-
ed waves from the Moho boundary, super-
critical reflected waves from the bounda-
ries lying slightly below the sole of this lay-
er (depths of 13�18 km) are recorded. As
a rule, the reflected waves from these bo-
undaries are traced parallel to each other
in the absence of interference between them
(see Fig. 3).
In the Earth�s crust in the area of PK
340�355 at depths of 16�26 km and 30�
40 as a result of registration of diffracted
waves, a number of diffraction points are
additionally identified. The projection of the
diffraction point on the day surface is the
minimum of the hodograph. The depth of
the diffraction point was determined using
a ray diagram.
Diffracted waves are often recorded in
deep fault zones of different ranks. Genera-
lization and analysis of DSS materials show
that the presence of diffracted waves in
the recorded wave pattern is one of the re-
liable criteria for identifying deep faults in
the Earth�s crust.
Defining of additional diffraction points,
as well as a dense series of short seismic
boundaries at depths of 2�8 km allowed
clarify the position of the Talnivska fault
zone in the section. On the surface of the
crust geotravers crosses it in the area of
PK 350�360. A dense series of short seis-
mic boundaries at depths of 2�8 km can
be traced to the east of PK 353. It is impos-
sible to trace it to the west because of the
change in the system of observations to a
less detailed one. Therefore, considering the
position of Talnivska area on the surface
[Gintov et al., 2016], in the cut (see Fig. 3)
the western limit of the depicted level PK
357. The eastern limit of the zone within
the upper part of the crust is not determi-
ned through a continuous tectonics destro-
yed Golovanivsk Suture Zone and the pre-
sence of several fault zones, in particular
Yemylivska. And in the lower crust, the zone
is traced by diffraction points to a depth of

176 Ãåîôèçè÷åñêèé æóðíàë ¹ 1, Ò. 41, 2019
60 km (the zone of rupture in the Moho
surface) within the limits of PK 345�355.
It should be noted that the Talnivska
fault zone marks the border between the
Buzkyi and Rosynskyi megablocks on the
one hand and the Ingulskyi [Gintov et al.,
2018a], block on the on the other. Accord-
ing to seismotomographic data [Geyko et
al., 2005, p. 935, Fig. 6], this border can be
traced at the intersection of 47�50° of
north latitude and at the longitudes 30�
31° east longitude at depths of 100�600km
in a boundary between blocks with diffe-
rent velocities VP and degrees and gaps in
the layer of the Golitsyn�Geyko. Therefo-
re, we can assume that Talnivska area is al-
so seen at these depths. On the surface it
is established by brittle-plastic deformati-
on of rocks, and at considerable depths, for
example, it is expressed by the structure of
the subvertical flow of mantle matter.
Most of the section of the Earth�s crust
of the considered area of geotraverse IV is
characterized, as usual, by horizontal and
subhorizontal occurrence of individual seis-
mic boundaries and mainly by a gradual
increase in velocity with depth. The excep-
tion is the central part of the section (PK
328�355), where at depths of 8�26 km a
series of sharply inclined reflective elements
are distinguished.
The method of construction of steeply
inclined reflecting elements was as follows.
Initially, the beam of the descending wave
was reproduced by means of the beam dia-
gram. For this purpose, the zero of the radi-
ation diagram was located at the excitation
point (in our case, this is the point of explo-
sion). Next, the beam of the downward wa-
ve is reproduced with the start of the refer-
ence time on the beam from zero to seve-
ral seconds. The angle of incidence (α) was
calculated according to the formula α = arc-
sin (V0
/V*), where V0 is the initial velocity,
V* is the apparent velocity measured along
the line of sight to the element of the hodo-
graph, which corresponds to the site, the
depth of which has to be determined. Then
the reflected wave beam is reproduced. At
the point of exit of the beam to the day sur-
face zero beam diagram is placed, from
which the time of arrival of the wave along
the beam in the direction of decreasing ti-
me. The angle of the beam is calculated by
the same formula as in the case of a down-
ward wave. At the intersection of these rays
there is a reflective element that is normal
to the bisector of the angle between them.
The length of the reflecting element is 0.5
of the section of the profile on which this
element is registered. In our case, due to
the registration of waves with negative ve-
locities, the beam of the downward wave is
reproduced not in the direction of the regi-
stration point of the reflected beam, and in
the opposite direction, which corresponds
to the negative velocity.
It should be emphasized that the positi-
on of sharply inclined reflective elements
in the plan is shifted by 10�15 km in the
west direction from the place where they
should lie at their horizontal position. This
deviation is accompanied by a significant
increase in the intensity of reflections from
these elements. All these reflecting elements
together with horizontally lying elements
(depths of 2�9 km) form the area of the
medium, which at depths of 2�30 km dif-
fers in its characteristics from the host rocks.
The series has one characteristic feature
� most of the axes are parallel to each
other. This means that the associated re-
flective elements are likely to be parallel to
each other as well. It follows from this con-
clusion that in the crystalline thickness of
the Earth�s crust revealed a structure com-
posed of a large number of reflective ele-
ments that fall steeply to the east and in
general lie quite comfortable.
The physical nature of these reflections
can be explained as follows. Reflections are
formed only, when the wave on its way me-
ets the change in the acoustic impedance of
the medium γ (γ = ρν, where ρ is the densi-
ty, ν is the velocity, km/s). In this case, the
reflection occurs from the boundary, which
characterizes the change in the acoustic im-

ers, the velocity of which differs from the
velocity on their surface. Under this assump-
tion, there are physical prerequisites for the
formation of reflections from the surfaces
of the layers. It can be assumed that this
series is composed of partially parallel bo-
dies with reduced and increased velocities
with a predominance of the latter.
A series of inclined reflective elements
continues to the west and to the mountains
at the level of 8�9 km under PK 352, as
well as to the east and to a depth of 37 km
under PK 315. This gives one the ability to
track the listric zone of shear which con-
tinuously extends from a depth of 8 km on
a PK 355 to 44 km on a PK 304. The zone
characterized by width (up to 10 km) at
depths of 20�24 km, where it coincides
with a series of steeply inclined reflective
elements and several diffraction points.
Near the surface area the highlighted
listric spallation is combined with the main
part of the Talnivska fault zone. Tectono-
physical studies [Gintov et al., 2016] within
the Talnivska zone mapped one several sub-
parallel zones of cleavage of southeast stri-
ke, one of which is likely to be this listric
zone, while others can be traced to a depth
of the subvertical ones. Developing the mag-
netic model of the Earth�s crust GSZ, I. K.
Pashkevich and M. I. Bakarzhieva [Gintov
et al., 2018b, p. 398, Fig. 2.183] already sug-
gested the presence here of the listric zone,
which has megablock bug slips under GSZ,
or the latter prolonged to Buzkyi megablock.
In the area of PK 335�340, a deep fault
along the Moho boundary is known to be
recorded, along which it vertically shifts
from a depth of 43 km to a depth of 53 km
(PK 335�340). In addition, a number of dif-
fraction points are allocated in the Earth�s
crust at the same place (see Fig. 3).
In the context of this section geotraverse,
V. B. Sollogub [Sollogub, 1986, p. 85, Fig.
31] allocated intrusive body with high den-
sity in the depth interval of 10�50 km and
horizontal dimensions of the body � 3�14 km
at depths of 10�20 km and 6�14 km at
depths of 20�50 km at the surface (at a
depth of 4�10 km) and intrusion deviates
to the east and narrows to 3 to 4 km from
the intrusive body, according to the inter-
pretation of V .B. Sollogub, spatially coin-
cides with a vertical deep fracture and gra-
dually narrowing with depth. The fault can
be traced to a depth of 50 km.
According to three-dimensional gravity
modeling [Starostenko et al., 2018] the de-
gree of section of the Moho depth and the
corresponding fault can be traced in N-G
direction through the central part of the
GSZ. In the field of Bouguer anomalies the
degree of Moho amplitude up to 10 km is
compensated with increased capacity of
crust�mantle mixture in the closed west
wing and the largest within the Ukrainian
Shield gravitational anomaly (Golovanivsk
maximum) due to the raising of the �ba-
salt� and �diorite� of the layers of the plate
which have a width of 40 km is raised with
respect to adjacent to 4�10 km. The pres-
ence of an intrusive body above the stage
of the Moho, supposed by V. B. Sollogub,
was not taken into account because of the
expected nature of the body and its uncer-
tain power.
According to the latest version of the
re-interpretation of DSS data (see Fig. 3)
supply channel of intrusive bodies at depths
of 60�33 km is quite narrow and only start-
ing from 30 km almost to the surface of the
body extends to power about 15 km away.
It is the width of the of ultrabasites out-
cropping at the surface of the crystalline
basement in the area south of geotraverse
IV (see Fg. 1). Focusing on the region of
relatively high velocities VP at depths of 2�
33 km (see Fig. 3), it can be expected that
at these depths along the axis of the cent-
ral part of the GSZ there is the main body
of the intrusion of hyperbasites and basites-
dunite, peridotite, pyroxenite, Gabro, am-
phibolite � density which exceeds the den-
sity of host rocks is 0.1�0.2 g/cm3. At the
surface at depths up to 2�3 km, the hy-
perbasites are serpentinized, that is why the
intensity of the gravitational field in the re-
gion of their cropping out to the surface
(see Fig. 3) is slightly reduced. And in pla-
ces of the outcrops of crystalline basement

rocks � in Troianskyi and Tarasivakyi are-
as � there is a maximum intensity of the
Holovanivsk anomaly.
Thus, the reinterpretation section of the
Holovanivsk section of geotraverse IV sig-
nificantly clarifies the previous sections,
which should be taken into account in the
analysis of other geophysical data.
Conclusions. 1. The result of re-inter-
pretation of the data of geotraverse IV in
the interval PK 300�400 a new series of
reflection and diffraction points was defined,
which gave the possibility to clarify the situ-
ation in the context of the Talnivska of the
rift and its internal structure, as well as to
confirm and clarify the form of the intru-
sions of basic and ultrabasic rocks predict-
ed by V. B. Sollogub.
The structure of the Earth�s crust of the central part of the
Holovanivsk suture zone according to the reinterpretation
of materials of IV geotraverse of DSS (PK 295�400)
O. A. Trypolsky, O. V. Topoliuk, O. B. Gintov, 2019
The paper presents the results of reinterpretation of the materials obtained as a re-
sult of studies using the DSS method along the IV geotraverse at the site PK 295�400.
The reinterpretation was carried out purposefully to clarify the seismic cross section in
the area of the Holovanivsk gravity maximum (PK 320�360). A number of seismic sites
and diffraction points were additionally identified in the crust at the depths of 2�60km,
which made it possible to form an objective idea of the deep structure of the conside-
red part of geotraverse. The observations were carried out according to the method of
continuous profiling, which provided for the registration of a system of direct and in-
verse hodographs of the main waves, linked at the inter-points. Compared to previous
interpretations, the cross-section of the crust was significantly specified. The identifica-
tion of additional diffraction points and a large number of short reflecting elements at
the depths of 2�8 km made it possible to clarify the position of snaps in the cross sec-
tion of the Talnivska zone. A series of short steeply inclined reflecting elements was iden-
tified in the central part of the cross-section (PK 338�355) at the depth of 8�26 km.
Together with horizontally and obliquely lying elements (at the depth of 2�9 km and
24�44 km), they form an environ area that differs according to its features from the
host rocks at the depth of 2�44 km, which made it possible to retrace the listric shear
zone that continuously extends from the depth of 8 km at PK 355 to 44 km at PK 304.
Taking into account the seismic tomographic data, it was suggested that the Talnivska
zone of snaps can be retraced to the depth of 100�600 km as a boundary between blocks
with different velocities VP and steps and breaks in the Golitsyn�Geyko layer. Close
by the daylight surface, the listric shear zone is connected to the main part of the Tal-
nivska fault zone. According to the latest version of the reinterpretation of the DSS data,
the feeder of the intrusive body of hyperbasites is quite narrow at the depth of 60�33 km
2. The considered part of geotraverse
IV is characterized by the feature that dis-
tinguishes it from other parts � it is a se-
ries of steep reflective elements occurring
at depths of 8�26 km. Taking into account
other inclined and horizontal reflective ele-
ments it is possible to trace listric spallation
zone of Talnivska fault zone that was as-
sumed here on other geological and geo-
physical data.
3. It is shown that intrusion of basic and
ultrabasic rocks within the Holovanivsk su-
ture zone forms a body with size of about
15 km width and 30 km in the vertical part,
not taking into account the supply chan-
nel. Such a body should be considered in
the following quantitative geophysical cal-
culations.

and expands to a thickness of about 15 km only starting from 30 km and almost to the
body surface. This is precisely the width of the hyperbasites outbreaks onto the surface
of the crystalline basement in the area to the south of the IV geotraverse. Focusing on
the area of relatively high velocities VP at the depth of 2�33 km, it can be assumed
that the main body of the intrusion of hyperbasites and basit-dunites, peridotites, pyro-
xenites, gabbro and amphibolites, the density of which exceeds the density of the host
rocks by 0.1�0.22 g/cm3, is located particularly at these depths along the axis of the
central part of the Holovanivsk suture zone.
