“…3 and 4). Although fold test was not conclusive, their direction before tectonic correction (component C of Grabowski et al 2008) reveal similar amount of CCW rotation as the above directions of postfolding age (Márton et al 2013). It should be noted that all these overprints are of reversed polarity, similarly to the primary magnetization of the Neogene andesites in the Pieniny Klippen Belt (Márton et al 2004, 6 in the Table 2, Fig.…”

“…In fact all secondary magnetizations of inferred syn-thrusting age are of limited value for regional palaeotectonic interpretations, although they appeared to be useful in local tectonic reconstructions (e. Participation of the Pieniny Klippen Belt in the Miocene CCW rotation of the AlpCarpathian-Pannonian superunit is well constrained (Márton et al , 2013, since the overall-mean primary magnetizatons of the Upper Cretaceous pelagic marls exhibit similar rotation than the oldest group of Cenozoic rocks from the Inner Western Carpathians (Fig. 7a).…”

The Western Carpathians are separated into an Outer and Inner Carpathians (both comprising several nappe systems) by the extremely narrow and highly deformed Pieniny Klippen Belt. The main phase of deformation and thrusting took place during the Late Cretaceous in the Inner Carpathians, at the end of Cretaceous–Paleocene in the Pieniny Klippen Belt and in the Miocene in the Outer Carpathians. In this paper a large amount of palaeomagnetic results of different quality available from several nappe stacks and from overstep sequences were reviewed and interpreted in terms of tectonics. The data suggest that all three main units participated in two phases of anticlockwise rotation starting at 18.5 Ma, that is, the Outer Carpathian nappes in front of the already consolidated Alpine–Carpathian–Pannonian block became accreted to the block. Late Cretaceous nappe transport, Neogene uplift of ‘core mountains’ and possibly oroclinal bending of pre-Oligocene age can account for important differences in pre-Cenozoic palaeomagnetic declinations. Most of them exhibit less or no anticlockwise rotation suggested by the overstep sequences, implying pre-Cenozoic clockwise rotations of variable angles.

Building and exhumation of the Western Carpathians: New constraints from sequentially restored, balanced cross sections integrated with low‐temperature thermochronometry

et al. 2016

Western Carpathian orogeny has been the subject of intense scientific debate due to the occurrence of enigmatic features, leading several authors to provide contrasting geological models. In this paper, a new interpretation for the tectonic evolution of the Western Carpathians is provided based on the following: (i) an analysis of the stratigraphy of the Mesozoic‐Tertiary successions across the thrust belt domains, (ii) a reappraisal of the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the “tectonic mélange” (i.e., the so‐called Pieniny Klippen Belt) marking the suture between the Inner and Outer Carpathians, and (iii) the construction of a series of balanced and restored cross sections, validated by 2‐D forward modeling. Our analysis provides a robust correlation of the stratigraphy from the Outer to the Inner Carpathians, independently of the occurrence of oceanic lithosphere in the area, and allows for the reinterpretation of the tectonic relationships among the Inner Carpathians, the Outer Carpathians, and the Pieniny Klippen Belt and the exhumation mechanisms affecting this orogenic belt. In order to constrain the evolution during the last 20 Ma, our model also integrates previously published and new apatite fission track and apatite (U‐Th‐Sm)/He data. These latter indicate a middle‐late Miocene exhumation of the Pieniny Klippen Belt. In this study, the recent regional uplift of the Pieniny Klippen Belt is described for the first time using a 2‐D kinematic model for the tectonic evolution of the Western Carpathians.
