The study of iron-bearing rocks of the Neogene collected in numerous expeditions of the Department of marine Geology and sedimentary ore formation (DMGSOF) of NAS of Ukraine on the background of the compilation process bulk material, can significantly extend the known boundaries of the Azov-Black sea iron ore province to isobath 1750 m. It identifies reasons of finding a relatively great depths of the Crimean continental slope rocks of the shallow facies Cimmerian age associated with the transfer mud flows with the offshore part and landslides triggered by neotectonic activity.
