“…1D). The attitude of the latter faults, considered as kinematically related to the major strike-slip displacement on the Southern Pieniny Fault (named the Podhale Fault by Plašienka et al 2013 andJurewicz 2018), is consistent with the sinistral sense of that displacement, anticipated from regional considerations. This is, however, at odds with the dextral sense interpreted from mesoscopic structures in the field.…”

“…The PKB/CCPB contact is poorly exposed. It can be studied at few natural outcrops and is hardly ever uncovered in ephemeric, artificial exposures (Plašienka et al 2013). The limited number of outcrops is commonly due to the finegrained and fine-bedded characteristics of the lower flysch series of the CCPB (Lower Zakopane or Szaflary Beds) that are in direct contact with the marly and shaly rocks of the "klippen envelope" of the PKB.…”

A geological structural study has been conducted along the tectonic contact zone of the Central Carpathian Paleogene Basin (CCPB) and Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) in the eastern Podhale and western Spišska Magura areas. It concerned mostly the Central Carpathian Paleogene flysch strata and, to a lesser degree, the Upper Cretaceous rocks of the PKB. Tectonic deformation structures genetically related to the important tectonic boundary in question occur within a c. 1.5-2 km-wide strip of the Paleogene flysch rocks adjacent from the south to the PKB. Two parallel structural domains have been distinguished within this strip: the contact zone proper in the north and the peri-Pieniny monocline in the south. Most of the minor faults documented in the Paleogene flysch bear a record of dextral motion parallel to the contact zone. Some dextral-reverse oblique slip faults of NE-SW and WE trends have also been recognized. Discrepancies in the orientation and sense of movement on strike-slip faults in the Paleogene flysch rocks and those in marlstones of the "klippen envelope" of the PKB were encountered. They probably reflect differences in the structural history of both the adjacent rock complexes, as the Upper Cretaceous deposits of the PKB must have experienced more deformation events and, in general, were affected by much more intense strain than those of the CCPB. Contractional structures, such as south-vergent reverse faults and recumbent folds which point to ca N-S tectonic shortening, have also been found in the Paleogene rocks. The entirety of the structural features found in the CCPB is characteristic of a transpressional regime. The regionally consistent coexistence of structures resulting from strike-slip movements and tectonic shortening, as well as features pointing directly to a transpressional regime, prove the transpressional dextral nature of the contact between the CCPB and PKB.

“…The Western Carpathians consist of three main structural units: the Outer, Central and Inner Western Carpathians. The Central and Outer Western Carpathians are separated by the Pieniny Klippen Belt (Birkenmajer, 1965(Birkenmajer, , 1986Pla sienka et al, 1997;. To the north of the Carpathians overthrust is the Carpathian Foredeep, a tectonic structure genetically related to the evolution of the Carpathians (e.g.…”

Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility as an indicator for palaeocurrent analysis in folded turbidites (Outer Western Carpathians, Poland)

et al. 2020

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility is a well-known geological proxy in revealing the directional tectonic and sedimentological features of rocks, although it can be ambiguous in situations where these two factors co-occur. This paper demonstrates the usefulness of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility in determining palaeotransport directions in turbiditic rocks that underwent subsequent thrusting and folding. This study demonstrates that the magnetic lineation is largely unsuitable as a palaeocurrent direction proxy, and suggests that the imbrication of magnetic foliation is better in such cases. Moreover, the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility results were analyzed in reference to a joint and fold study within the framework of the regional structural geology. Magnetic fabric investigations were conducted in the eastern part of the Outer Western Carpathians (south-east Poland). During the study, a total of 191 oriented palaeomagnetic samples were collected from three outcrops (Nasiczne, Dwernik and Hoczew) in the Krosno Beds, Silesian Unit. For the purpose of sedimentological analysis, 121 m of turbidite successions were documented and 126 directional sedimentary structures were measured. The magnetic anisotropy of sandstones revealed typical sedimentary fabrics, often overprinted by variably intense tectonic deformation. Oblate susceptibility ellipsoids from Nasiczne showed tilt coherent with the palaeoflow direction, whereas the rocks from Dwernik and Hoczew contained triaxial magnetic fabric developed during compressional palaeostress. This paper suggests that medium-grained and coarse-grained sandstones, preferably with high mica content, are the most suitable for palaeotransport reconstructions among the studied lithologies.

Ob ser va tions were car ried out in nat u ral ex po sures along three streams flow ing in the Pol ish Spisz: Kacwinianka, Łapszanka and Kacwiński. Three main groups of lithofacies have been dis tinguished: coarse-grained, mixed and sandy-grained, and fine-grained. The lithofacies are char ac ter ized by vari able sed i mentary struc tures, e.g. mas sive struc ture, hor i zon tal lam i na tion, rip ple cross-lam i na tion, hummocky cross-strat i fi ca tion, de for ma tion struc ture. Sedimentological anal y ses showed that struc tures typ i cal for tur bid ity cur rents and those char ac ter istic of rel a tively shal low de po si tion (HCS, wave rip ples) could co ex ist in the in ves ti gated suc ces sion in ter preted as typ i cal for tur bid ity cur rents in flu enced by storm waves.
