Summary

Research on Wrangel Island reveals multiple stages in the structural evolution of its sedimentary cover, confirming early Devonian fold deformations linked to Ellesmerian tectogenesis and Middle Devonian structures associated with the Chukotka Orogeny. These findings were derived from mesostructural field observations across northern, central, and eastern parts of the island, identifying distinct geological processes that shaped the region's sedimentary complexes over time.
