Peculiarities of geological structure and relief of Ukrainian fragment of zones of Marmaroshi and Pieniny rocks located between Outer (Flysch) and Inner Carpathians are considered. Morphostructural differences and common features of relief of these zones are clarified. Territory of zones of Marmaroshi and Pieniny rocks is considered as separate geomorphological region of mountain part of Ukrainian Carpathians – subregion of Intermountain Valleys and Rocky Chains. Expediency of separation and taxonomic class of this geomorphological region are proved, its division into taxonomic units of lower class is realized. Key words: Marmaroshi rocks, Pieniny rocks, klippes (limestone rocks of Jurassic period), morphostructure, geomorphological regionalization, Ukrainian Carpathians.
