Abstract
Detailed high frequency seismoprofiling was performed in the axis zone of the Danube cone during an international expedition on board of R/V ''Gelendzhik'' in 1993. Five hurried accumulative swells (suprafans) were distinguished in some seismoprofiles crossing the central part of the cone. They overlay each other in a strict succession with a stron g angle of disconfirmity. They were formed during five cycles of sedim entation corresponding to the last five regression-transgression cycle s beginning from Mindel regression. The main part of sedimentary bodie s were accumaled during Mindel, Lower and Upper Riss, as well as Lower and Upper Wurm regressions. The studied section of Danube cone was fo rmed approximately during recent 0.5 my.
