This article focuses on peculiarities of the South Caspian Depression Earth Crust on the new geophysical data. 2 D seismostratigraphic models of the Earth Crust have been compiled on materials of ultra deep seismometry and modification CDP (Common Depth Point) (UD-CDP) and DSS (Deep Seismic Sounding) which are compared with tomographic and gravimetric models. A high efficiency of UD-CDP is demonstrated in study of crystalline crust and basal depositional sequence. Conceptually important peculiarities of crystalline crust were defined and the necessity of single time-spatial scheme (historical geological model) was substantiated on preliminary net of seismic monitoring.

On the base of high informative data of UD-CDP and seismostratigraphic models considering geological-geophysical key features the peculiarities of subduction model of crystalline crust depression plunger under epi-Hercinian platform in the Absheron sill vicinity are discussed. This zone is one of the component of plate tectonic model of region evolution.
