Tectonic implications of paleomagnetism in Upper Cretaceous deposits in the Haţeg and Rusca Montanā basins (South Carpathians, Romania)

Strain partitioning during formation of oroclines and indentation

“…4.1a;Ustaszewski et al, 2008). While the South Carpathians segment underwent a coeval gradual clockwise rotation of up to 90° (e.g., Balla, 1984Balla, , 1986Balla, , 1987de Leeuw et al, 2013;Dupont-Nivet et al, 2005;Pătraşcu et al, 1990Pătraşcu et al, , 1992Pătraşcu et al, , 1993Panaiotu and Panaiotu, 2010), this rotation decreases to 25°-30° in the Serbian Carpathians segment and becomes negligible in the Balkanides (Lesić et al, 2019;van Hinsbergen et al, 2008).…”
