“…The surface extension inferred from the horizontal velocities range from 8 to 45 nstr/y and in the vicinity of Vyhne is between 20 and 30 nstr/y (0.030 μstr/y). The extension rate measured by the Vyhne extensometer coincides very well with the values obtained also for the whole Pannonian-Basin (Bada et al, 2007;Grenerczy et al, 2000) and the strain rates obtained by Dudášová (2005) for the years 1991-93.…”

Abstract:The Vyhne Tidal Station of the Earth Science Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences is located in the former mining gallery of St. Anthony of Padua in the Vyhne valley,Štiavnické vrchy Mts., Central Slovakia. It is equipped with a 20.5 metre long quartz-tube extensometer measuring Earth's tides, and long-term tectonic deformations of the Earth's crust. Data between 2001 and 2015 with some diverse gaps were digitally collected, processed and analysed. The effects of the local conditions, such as structure of the observatory, cavity effect, topography and geological features of the surrounding rocks, were investigated in detail and these effects were taken into consideration during the interpretation of the results of the data analysis. Tidal analysis of the extensometric data between 2005 and 2015 revealed that the measured tidal amplitudes are close to the theoretical values. The tidal transfer of the observatory was also investigated by coherence analysis between the theoretical and the measured extensometric data. The coherence is better than 0.9 both in the diurnal and semidiurnal band. The effect of the free core nutation resonance was also investigated in the case of the K1 and P1 tidal components. Since the K1/O1 ratio was about the theoretical value 0.8, than the P1/O1 was between 1.0 and 1.15 instead of the theoretical value of 0.9. The rate of the long-term strain rate was also investigated and the obtained −0.05 μstr/y shows a good agreement with the strain rate inferred from GPS measurements in the Central European GPS Reference Network.

“…A major change in the paleostress fields from extension, governing Miocene basin formation, to compression, controlling Pliocene to Quaternary neotectonic deformation, was recognised (c.f. Horváth and Cloetingh, 1996;Fodor et al, 1999;Bada et al, 2001Bada et al, , 2007Fodor et al, 2005;Horváth et al, 2006). The concept of ongoing basin inversion was confirmed already by the first regional compilation of stress indicators for the area of the Pannonian basin and surrounding orogens (Gerner et al, 1999).…”

“…Present-day stress field, derived from borehole breakout data, overcoring stress determination and earthquake focal mechanisms indicate a strike-slip type stress field also with SE-NW tension (Gerner et al, 1999;Bada et al, 2007), although this principal stress direction was not controlled by local data, but projected from surrounding areas. This means that our field observations do not allow the firm separation of tectonically and gravitationally controlled fractures although the latter is favoured.…”

The Gazda quarry is one of the largest outcrops of the present-day Süttő travertine complex that is situated close to the town of Süttő (Hungary), in the Pannonian Basin. Sedimentological and petrographical analyses show that the Gazda travertine body is built out of phytohermal, wavy laminated, massive and flat laminated travertine lithofacies representing reed mound, slope, lacustrine and palustrine depositional environments, respectively. Based on petrographic analyses, the following three main textural features were recognized that allow to describe the most common microscopic features: (1) micrite textures; (2) micritic coatings and crusts; and (3) different types of clasts. Each major lithofacies is characterized by a particular association of these textural types.The geometry of the travertine beds follows the antecedent land-surface, a NE-SW striking prePleistocene valley. It is proposed that in this valley travertine precipitation took place along a gently sloping terrain. The Gazda travertine system was fed by at least two groundwatersprings. One of them was located NE of the quarry from which waters were flowing along the axis of the valley. The other source was located to the East of the Gazda quarry and waters joined the main water-course along the valley. Closest to the confluence, a phytohermal mound developed with lateral slope and eventual pond depositional systems. Onlapping and interfingering with the flat laminated lithofacies indicate alternating activity of the two springs.Fractures observed in the quarry are mainly related to postdepositional gravitational sliding, however, neotectonic forces resulting in SE-NW tension also played a role in the formation of the fractures. Detailed sedimentological and geochemical study of the Gazda travertine complex allowed small-scale facies characterization providing information about the ancient depositional environment and the heterogeneous nature of these carbonates.
