The results of detailed three-dimensional density modeling of the upper crust of the central part of the Losevsky terrane located in the northern part of the Voronezh crystal massif are considered. The distribution of absolute crustal density values of to a depth of 16 km was obtained as a result of the inversion of local anomalies of the gravitational field in the Bouguer reduction. The solution of the inverse problem of gravimetry was implemented within the framework of the initial model, which was formed using digital geological and geophysical data from the study area: the regional density model of the East European Platform lithosphere and its corresponding regional gravity field; the field of local gravity anomalies, representing the difference between the observed and regional fields of the lithosphere model; generalized information on the density of sedimentary cover rocks and the crystal basement; the thickness scheme of the «gravity-active» layer, obtained on the basis of statistical analysis of the anomalous field; geological and topographic information. Quantitative interpretation of the gravimetry data allowed us to obtain fundamentally new information about the geological structure of the upper crust of the study area. The reliability of the obtained results is confirmed by the consistency of a priori data and the correspondence of the total model (local plus regional) and observed gravitational fields.
