Crustal structure derived primarily from geophysical investigations reveals features that may be related to the complex tectonic evolution of the Tornquist Fan region. This northwestwards widening splay of Late Carboniferous – Early Permian fault zones in the Danish region emanates from the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone in northern Poland. Seismic reflections and velocity anomalies image collisional fault zones that formed during the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic amalgamation of the crust. Re-equilibration of Moho appears to have taken place before late Palaeozoic rifting and magmatism initiated the main phase of basin formation that continued into the Mesozoic. The resulting, strong Moho topography, with variation between depths of 26 and 48 km, has been practically “frozen in” since then, although the late Cretaceous – early Cenozoic inversion tectonics may have formed a crustal keel underneath part of the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone which cuts across the Proterozoic crust of the Tornquist Fan region.

New U–Pb SIMS zircon datings from granitoid plutons and dikes of Western Chukotka together with earlier obtained data confirm that postcollisional granitoid magmatism and dike intrusion occurred in Aptian–Albian (117–105 m.y.) and fix change of tectonic regime from collision to extension in tectonic evolution of Chukotka Mesozoides. These events may be related to continuing expansion of Amerasian basin since Jurassic and forma- tion in Aptian—Albian time of both oceanic Makarov, Podvodnikov basins and Anakhurgen, Nutesyn and Kameshkov basins in continental framework of Eastern Arctic. Synchronism of tectonic events of extension and spreading in the Canada Basin and collisional events, deformations and reorganization of structural style and sedimentary environment in the South-Anyui suture is noted. This may be regarded as confirmation of rotation hypothesis of Amerasian Basin formation.
