Abstract
Complicated structure of Priamurye is described as series of repeated tectonic plates. Fragments of these plates are presented in the Gorin and Lower Amurian zones. It is typical accretionary complexes. Three main tectono stratigraphic systems can be distinguished: a system of oceanic plate, a system of oceanic plate cover during its approach to the subduction zone (siliceous mudstone), and the overlying terrigenous formations.
