Sedimentary formations of the Crimean peninsula (southeast Europe, Black Sea coast) provide evidence of catastrophic deposition in a hydraulic cataclysm. In spite of this evidence, uniformitarian geologists of the former USSR described these Crimean sedimentary formations in terms of gradualism. This article is the first attempt to reinterpret the geology of Crimea in a creationist framework. Research of the overall Crimean sedimentary sequence provides evidence of catastrophic sedimentation in the basin. The first stage of this research reconstructs sedimentary conditions for the lower part of the sequence—the Tavrick Formation. Investigation of the Crimean sedimentary sequence illustrates principles of Flood sedimentation which can then be correlated to strata in similar foldbelts in other regions. In the description of the geological structure of Crimea, I use the prevalent terms of the uniformitarian geological column, such as "Triassic," "Jurassic," and "Cretaceous." This dating is based upon the biostratigraphic assumption that strata around the globe which contain the same fossils are of the same age. Inasmuch as the synchronous nature of such strata is questionable, the absolute dating of these strata is rejected.
