“…This stage of the tectonic evolution led to the deposition of the tectono-sedimentary Gregorianka Breccia, first occurring in the Maastrichtian in the Sub-Pieniny Unit (e.g. Nemčok et al 1989;Plašienka 2012a) and the similar Jarmuta-Proč Formation in the Peri-Klippen part of the Magura Basin (Birkenmajer 1977;Birkenmajer and Dudziak 1991;Nemčok and Nemčok 1994;Jurewicz 1997;Baková and Soták 2000;Plašienka et al 2012). Nappe emplacement within the PKB originated at around sea level or above; these processes were accompanied by erosion and formation of synorogenic, locally shallow-marine or fresh-water, sediments (Plašienka et al 1997).…”

“…This contrasting lithology is responsible for the later disintegration of the PKB into isolated klippen during an intense multistage tectonic evolution (e.g. Andrusov 1938;Nemčok et al 1989;Nemčok and Nemčok 1994;Plašienka 2003). Due to later sedimentation and deformation connected with the evolution of the Outer Carpathians, the tectonic structure of the PKB became even more complex and diapiric in nature (Birkenmajer 1959), giving rise to even more contradictory explanations of its origin.…”

“…In the Coniacian pelagic sedimentation switched into flysch deposition, preorogenic in nature (Sromowce Formation), but coupled with nappe thrusting in the Fatric-Tatric belt located to the south ( Fig. 2) (Birkenmajer 1986;Nemčok and Nemčok 1994;Plašienka 2003;Froitzheim et al 2008). The diachronic position of this pre-orogenic flysch and increasingly younger ages to the north documented northwards migration of nappe movement from the Meliata-Hallstatt to the Penninic-Vahic oceanic zones (Plašienka 1996).…”

The Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) is a narrow structure delineating the boundary between the Central and Outer Carpathians. It is built of nappes stacked during the Cretaceous and Paleocene and then re-folded in the Miocene during the formation of the Outer Carpathian overthrusts. The internal structure of the PKB at the Polish/Slovakian border first formed during northward nappe thrusting processes, which were most intense at the turn of the Cretaceous to the Paleocene. A secondary factor is the change in strike of the PKB turning from W-E to WNW-

“…The southern boundary of the OC is defined by the E-W trending Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) that separates the nappe stack from the Inner Carpathians (IC) Paleogene flysch. This narrow zone predominantly comprises strongly deformed carbonates of Jurassic to Cretaceous age (Birkenmajer 1986;Ratschbacher et al 1993;Nemčok & Nemčok 1994) and is interpreted as a plate boundary between the European plate to the north and the North Pannonian block to the south. The two blocks collided at the Early Miocene/Middle Miocene boundary Rögl 1996;Sperner et al 2002).…”

Abstract:The thermal history of the Paleogene Podhale Basin was studied by the apatite fission track (AFT) method. Twenty four Eocene-Oligocene sandstone samples yielded apparent ages from 13.8 ± 1.6 to 6.1 ±1.4 Ma that are significantly younger than their stratigraphic age and thus point to a post-depositional resetting. The thermal event responsible for the age resetting is interpreted as a combination of heating associated with mid-Miocene volcanism and variable thickness of Oligocene and potentially also Miocene sediments. Extending the mid-Miocene thermal event found in the Inner Carpathians into the Podhale Basin as a likely heat source suggests that the amount of denudation in the Podhale Basin determined only on the basis of heat related to the thickness of sedimentary sequence might have be significantly overestimated. Two samples from the western part of the basin that yielded 31.0 ± 4.3 and 26.9 ± 4.7 Ma are interpreted as having mixed ages resulting from partial resetting in temperature conditions within the AFT partial annealing zone. This observation agrees very well with reported vitrinite reflectance and illite-smectite thermometry, which indicate a systematic drop of the maximum paleotemperatures towards the western side of the basin.

The Manín Unit neigh bours the Pieniny Klippen Belt that fol lows the bound ary be tween the Paleogene accretionary wedge of the Outer Carpathians and the Cre ta ceous nappe sys tem of the Cen tral West ern Carpathians. Af ter the nappe em place ment dur ing mid-Cre ta ceous times, the Manín Unit was in cor po rated into the Pieniny Klippen Belt and at tained its com plex tec tonic style. Based on ki ne matic anal y sis of meso-scale faults with slick en sides, six (D 1 -D 6 ) brit tle de for ma tion stages have been discerned. The rel a tive suc ces sion of in di vid ual palaeostress states was de rived from field struc tural re la tion ships; their stratigraphic age was es ti mated pri mar ily by com par i son with other pub lished data. Palaeostress anal y sis in the Manín Unit re vealed the ex is tence of six dif fer ent palaeostress fields act ing from the Middle Eocene to the Qua ter nary. The first three gen er a tions of meso-scale brit tle struc tures were formed un der a transpressional tec tonic re gime dur ing the pre-Late Eocene-Early Mio cene D 1 -D 3 de for ma tion. Gen er ally, the max i mum hor i zon tal stress axis ro tated clock wise from a W-E to an ap prox i mately N-S di rec tion. There af ter, a transtensional tec tonic re gime was char ac ter ized by a WNW-ESE to NNW-SSE ori ented min i mum hor i zon tal stress axis dur ing Middle and Late Mio cene D 4 -D 5 de for ma tion. A gen eral extensional tec tonic re gime in flu enced the struc tural evo lu tion of the area in the Plio cene to Qua ter nary, when a grad ual reori en ta tion of the palaeostress field re sulted in the de vel op ment of vari able, of ten re ac ti vated, fault struc tures.
