East European Craton

As Eastern European panel ( sometimes inaccurate and Russian panel) is in geomorphology and geology refers to the relatively flat, uniform acting major landscape between the Baltic and the Ukrainian shield. It occupies about two-thirds of Eastern Europe and belongs geologically to the old continental block of Fennosarmatien, the rocks in the area of the Baltic shield - as gently shaped hull mountains - still open are evident.

By contrast, they are in the southeast, huge tableland, whose majority occupies the Russian table with their ridges and the Russo-Polish lowlands, from Proterozoic to Cenozoic sediments unfolded young covered, under which the fennosarmatische crystallin is a basement.
