• This chapter discusses the cyclicity of the mesozoic sedimentation on the eastern margin of the Chinese craton as a response to the main geodynamic events in the adjacent active oceanic area. Mesozoic volcano-sedimentary deposits of the Sikhote-Alin have been sufficiently well studied, but they were considered separately for the eastern margin of the Chinese Craton and for the intensively dislocated mountain Sikhote-Alin, situated more eastward. As a result, synchronous Mesozoic events have not been compared and correlated. In this chapter, such an attempt has been undertaken. The main structural elements of the Sea of Japan region and transition zone between the Chinese ancient craton on the west and the marginal seas of the western Pacific on the east are shown in the chapter. It examines the way the development of these two enormous geological structures have acted reciprocally during the Mesozoic and the way the events in the tectonically active, mobile eastern area influenced the epiplatform sedimentary processes on the eastern extremity of the stable Chinese Craton.
