Fragments of the Olyutor island arc formed in the Pacific during the Late Cretaceous–Paleogene [1, 8]. At the time they were located far away (about 2000 km) from the Eurasian continental margin [2, 3]; at present, this is a part of the Olyutor–Kamchatka fold region. In the modern structure, Cretaceous marginal-sea and island-arc rock complexes are thrusted along the Vatyna–Vyvenka–Lesnaya suture zone upon Creta-ceous–Paleogene terrigenous deposits of the Ukelayat trough and Western Kamchatka, which were formed along the continental slope of Eurasia [1, 5, 8–10] (Fig-ure).
