“…The occurrence of other numerous calcareous tufas in the neighborhood of the map-scale, as well as minor faults has been documented in the Podhale and Spiš area (e.g. Mastella et al 1996, 2012, Kukulak 1999, Mastella 2008, Głowacka 2010, Mastella & Rybak--Ostrowska 2012.…”

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.

“…Neotectonic fault activity is also proved by significant evolution of calcareous tufa and travertine mounds in the Polish (e.g. Mastella & Rybak-Ostrowska 2012) and also in the Slovak (e.g. Sůkalová et al 2012) parts of the Tatra Mts area.…”

Abstract:The Tatra Mts area, located in the northernmost part of Central Western Carpathians on the border between Slovakia and Poland, underwent a complex Alpine tectonic evolution. This study integrates structural, sedimentary, and geomorphological data combined with fission track data from the Variscan granite rocks to discuss the Cretaceous to Quaternary tectonic and landscape evolution of the Tatra Mts. The presented data can be correlated with five principal tectonic stages (TS), including neotectonics. TS-1 (~95-80 Ma) is related to mid-Cretaceous nappe stacking when the Tatric Unit was overlain by Mesozoic sequences of the Fatric and Hronic Nappes. After nappe stacking the Tatric crystalline basement was exhumed (and cooled) in response to the Late Cretaceous/Paleogene orogenic collapse followed by orogen-parallel extension. This is supported by 70 to 60 Ma old zircon fission track ages. Extensional tectonics were replaced by transpression to transtension during the Late Paleocene to Eocene (TS-2; ~80-45 Ma). TS-3 (~45-20 Ma) is documented by thick Oligocene-lowermost Miocene sediments of the Central Carpathian Paleogene Basin which kept the underlying Tatric crystalline basement at elevated temperatures (ca. >120 °C and <200 °C). The TS-4 (~20-7 Ma) is linked to slow Miocene exhumation rate of the Tatric crystalline basement, as it is indicated by apatite fission track data of 9-12 Ma. The final shaping of the Tatra Mts has been linked to accelerated tectonic activity since the Pliocene (TS-5; ~7-0 Ma).

Geo log i cal Quarterly, 61 (4): 859-876, doi: 10.7306/gq.1382The re search on the Oligocene suc ces sion of the Cen tral Carpathian Paleogene Ba sin (CCPB) in the Kacwin re gion fo cused on sedimentological and palynofacies anal y ses. 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. This in di cates rel a tively shal low-wa ter en vi ron ments. The palynofacies anal ysis en abled iden ti fi ca tion of the fol low ing com po nents: black wood, brown wood, cor tex, resin, sporomorphs, cu ti cle, al gae, dinoflagellates and AOM. A high pro por tion of black wood and low di ver sity of com po nents point to an or i gin re lated to tur bidity cur rents. Fur ther more, re sults of the palynofacies anal y sis have al lowed de ter min ing that, dur ing the de po si tion of the CCPB sed i ments in the Pol ish Spisz area, the dis tance be tween the de po si tion area and the source area be came rel a tively large. The biostratigraphic anal y sis of dinoflagellate cysts from the Podhale Ba sin (Szaflary, Zakopane, and lower Chochołów beds) in di cates an Early Rupelian age. More over, kerogen anal y sis in the UV was ap plied for the first time to study the CCPB suc ces sion. As a re sult, re work ing was doc u mented, so far un rec og nized by other meth ods, and the mu tual ver i fi ca tion of the ob tained re sults was pos si ble.
