У статті наведено обширний аналітичний огляд публікацій про гравітаційне моделювання земної кори в різних модифікаціях Чорноморського регіону і прилеглих територій. Показано, що навіть використання одних і тих самих схем потужності шарів осадового чохла, гравітаційний ефект якого робить істотний внесок у спостережене поле, за індивідуального вибору референсної густини і способу прив'язки розрахункових кривих призводить до того, що результати різних авторів не збігаються, а в деяких випадках і суперечать один одному. Вперше побудовано уніфіковану тривимірну густинну модель цього регіону, що істотно підвищило достовірність геологічної інтерпретації результатів моделювання. Уперше враховано площовий розподіл густини відкладів майкопської серії, палеоцену — еоцену і крейди, що дало змогу отримати нові дані стосовно її неоднорідної структури в основних горизонтах осадового чохла. Диференційоване врахування густини кристалічної частини земної кори виявило аномально розущільнені та ущільнені ділянки шельфової зони. Побудовано схему поширення і глибин залягання підошви дислокованих відкладів, а також розраховано густину порід на цій поверхні. Виділено гранітний, гранітно-діоритовий, діоритовий і базальтоїдний типи кори, що вперше дало змогу оконтурити для всього досліджуваного регіону райони розвитку сучасної консолідованої кори різного складу. Встановлено зменшення її основності від глибоководних западин до північно-західної, західної та південної шельфових зон. На північно-східному шельфі виділено локальні густинні неоднорідності в низах «базальтового» шару, які є каналами проникнення в земну кору порід основного і ультраосновного складу.
