A comprehensive review of drilling and geophysical data, including high precision aeromagnetic survey materials, made it possible to draw up a detailed scheme of the tectonic structure of the foundation of the studied territory, to show that most of it is the Hercynian formation. A number of previously unknown structural and formation zones in Transcaspia are identified, and their relationship with the structures of the Ciscaucasia is outlined. The latter is important in determining the prospects for the search for minerals in the basement rocks.

Key words: foundation, igneous and metamorphic rocks, tectonic zoning
