present days, like those described on the Turkish and Romanian margins (Figs. 6.7
and 6.8). In connection with this event the Danube deep sea fan started to be
developed with major sedimentary influx from the NW part of the margin.
The integrated interpretation of regional basin lines (OGS lines) with the local
high resolution lines calibrated with available well data, and the existing published
interpreted regional seismic lines (like IONone, see also Nikishin et al. 2015a, b)
proves to be a very powerful tool in basin scale correlation which brings important
contribution to the understanding of the geological evolution of the Western Black
Sea basin. The reprocessing of the existing vintage lines with up-to-date technology
and processing techniques brought important improvements to the seismic images
and therefore increased the interpretability, allowing the correlation with modern
data sets. In addition this dataset crosses political borders that might be difficult if
not impossible to pass, which means it holds a particular value in analysing this
basin at regional scale.
