The Ukrainian Shield and the Voronezh Massif consist of 3.2-3.8 Ga Archean crust in the southwest and east, and 2.3-2.1 Ga Early Proterozoic orogenic belts.
The Ilyinets crater is located at the boundary of Rosynsko-Tikychki, Dnistersko-Buzki.Іллінецький метеоритний кратер – виняткова геологічна споруда Європи та перспективний об’єкт міжнародного туризму (p. 660)
