Abstract

The sedimentation history of the Aldan–Maya sedimentary basin was reconstructed based on a seismostratigraphic section. In total, ten reconstructions were obtained showing the formation stages of the main sedimentary structures—the Riphean (Late Proterozoic) Aldan and Yudoma–Maya troughs and the overlying Vendian–Cambrian deposits, as well as the stages of tectonic restructurings. The use of the seismostratigraphic section and geological data to investigate the formation of the sedimentary cover contribute to a more substantiated and visual understanding of the evolution of the structure over more than 1.5 Ga.
