“…The Western Carpathians are subdivided into externides (the Outer Carpathians) and internides (including the Central and Inner Carpathians; Golonka et al, 2018;Golonka, Pietsch, et al, 2019;Golonka, Waśkowska, et al, 2019;Golonka et al, 2020;Książkiewicz, 1977;Plašienka, 2018), both distinctly bounded by the Pieniny Klippen Belt (Figure 2(A,B)). The recent geological structure of the Western Carpathians is a result of plate tectonics which led to a collision of the Central Carpathian, which is part of the Adriatic (Apulian) plate, with the northern European Plate (Golonka, Pietsch, et al, 2019;Golonka, Waśkowska, et al, 2019;Golonka et al, 2020). As part of a subduction process, the European Plate is sliding towards the south beneath the Adriatic (Apulian) Plate (Golonka, Waśkowska, et al, 2019;Golonka et al, 2020).…”

“…The geological deep structure of the Polish Carpathians is presented on a cross-section along the main geotraverse between Kraków and Zakopane (Figure 2(A, B)), constructed on the basis of data coming from deep boreholes (up to 5000 m) and seismic data recorded in the last four decades of the twentieth century (e.g. Golonka et al, 2005, 2018, Golonka, Pietsch, et al, 2019Marzec et al, 2019;Sikora et al, 1980).…”

The studied area, located in the south-western part of the Gorce Mountains, is built of flysch deposits representing the Krynica and Bystrica Subunits of the Magura Nappe. Here, in the Late Cretaceous-Early Miocene part of the lithostratigraphic succession of the Krynica Subunit, four formations containing several members were distinguished, whereas in the Bystrica Subunit, only one Middle Eocene-Oligocene formation was identified. The Turbacz and Kudłoń Thrust Sheets in the tectonic structure of the Krynica Subunit and the southernmost fragment of the Tobołów Thrust Sheet in the Bystrica Subunit are prominent. Several folds occur in the studied area. Numerous transverse and oblique faults are also present. The result of the present geological investigations in the study area was the creation of a geological map of the Magura Nappe deposits in the Gorce Mountains. In general, a high-resolution digital elevation model contributed significantly to the progress of this geological research.

The authors interpret the structure of the Central Carpathian-North European plates suture zone in Poland, where three main Carpathian tectonic units: the Central Carpathian, Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) and Outer Carpathian are present. In general, the PKB follows this zone. Several deep boreholes were drilled in this region and the seismic lines were tied to borehole data and geological maps. The Polish PKB belongs to the complex geological structure stretching from Vienna in Austria to Romania. The rocks included in the PKB tectonic components were deposited within the paleogeographic realm known as the Alpine Tethys, mainly during the Jurassic-Early Cretaceous times. Both strike-slip and thrust components occur within the Polish section of the PKB. The strongly tectonized, few kilometer wide PKB zone is limited by a flower structure marked by two major faults, linked to the strike-slip zone. These faults reach the North European Platform (part of the North European Plate). The flysch sequences, arranged into a series of north-vergent thrust-sheets, constitute the main component of the PKB in the survey zone. They contain olistoliths, which are mainly Jurassic-Early Cretaceous in age. The PKB tectonic components of different age, strike-slip, thrust as well as toe-thrusts and olistostromes are mixed together, giving the present-day mélange character of this belt, where individual units are hard to distinguish. Two olistostrome belts (mélange units) exist within the PKB structure. The seismic lines show the Central Carpathian Paleogene rocks covering the Paleozoic Central Carpathian Basement south of the PKB. The Subtatric covers the High-Tatric autochthonic and allochthone rocks. The Central Carpathian Plate is thrust over the North European Platform in the Podhale region. The allochthonous Outer Carpathians consist of several nappes (thrust-sheets) verging northward. They are thrust over each other and over the North European Platform which dips gently southward.
