The Dniepr-Donets Paleorift was the site of Devonian magmatic activity that begun in Late Frasnian and peaked in the Famennian caused by a mantle plume. Extensional tectonics were also most active during the Famennian.

There have been suggestions that the Dniepr-Donets Paleorift is related to the coeval Kola Alkaline Province.
