“…1b) (e.g., Dadlez 1997;Scheck et al 2002;Mazur et al 2005;Scheck and Lamarche 2005). The study area is located near the western border of the NW-SE-striking Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (TTZ), which represents a crustal-scale boundary that separates the East European Craton from the Palaeozoic Platform of Western Europe (e.g., Kutek and Głazek 1972;Pożaryski and BrochwiczLewiński 1978;Dadlez 1997;Dadlez et al 1995Dadlez et al , 1997Dadlez 2006).…”

ABSTRACT:Konon, A., Ostrowski, S., Rybak-Ostrowska, B., Ludwiniak, M., Śmigielski, M., Wyglądała, M., Uroda, J., Kowalczyk, S., Mieszkowski, R. and Kłopotowska, A. 2016. Mnin restraining stepover -evidence of significant Cretaceous-Cenozoic dextral strike-slip faulting along the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone? Acta Geologica Polonica, 66 (3), 429-449. Warszawa.A newly recognized Mnin restraining stepover is identified in the Permo-Mesozoic cover of the western part of the Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt (Poland), within a fault pattern consisting of dextral strikeslip faults. The formation of a large contractional structure at the Late Cretaceous -Cenozoic transition displays the significant role of strike-slip faulting along the western border of the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone, in the foreland of the Polish part of the Carpathian Orogen. Theoretical relationships between the maximum fault offsets/mean step length, as well as between the maximum fault offsets/mean step width allowed the estimation of the values of possible offsets along the Snochowice and Mieczyn faults forming the Mnin stepover. The estimated values suggest displacements of as much as several tens of kilometres. The observed offset along the Tokarnia Fault and theoretical calculations suggest that the strike-slip faults west of the Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt belong to a large strike-slip fault system.We postulate that the observed significant refraction of the faults forming the anastomosing fault pattern is related also to the interaction of the NW-SE-striking faults formed along the western border of the TeisseyreTornquist Zone and the reactivated WNW-ESE-striking faults belonging to the fault systems of the northern margin of the Tethys Ocean.

“…This thermal transition is likely to have rheological implications. Thus Scheck et al (2002) assume for the area of the Elbe Fault System, which borders the NEGB to the south at about km 100 in profile section (Figs. 7 and 8) a weak, stress-sensitive zone in the lower crust as the reason for the high mobility of the area and repeated strain localisation.…”

Ero sional his tory of the Karkonosze Gran ite Mas sif -con straints from ad ja cent sed i men tary bas ins and thermochronologyThe long-term ero sional his tory of the Karkonosze Gran ite Mas sif is re vised and re con structed us ing dif fer ent sources of in for ma tion, includ ing the sed i men tary re cord of ad ja cent bas ins, pre vi ously pub lished low-tem per a ture thermochronological data and geomorphic features. Al though the ev i dence is still in com plete, this work has iden ti fied a num ber of in ter vals, of un equal du ra tion, char ac ter ized by dif fer ent de nu da tion re gimes and rates. Sev eral ma jor phases of rapid ex hu ma tion are in ferred -in the Perm ian and the Early Tri as sic as seen in the sed i men tary re cord, and in the Late Cre ta ceous as shown by both the thermochronological and sed i men tary re cords. Neotectonic up lift of the Karkonosze Mts. in the late Ce no zoic is not re corded in the thermochronological re cord and there is no ev i dence of any ac cel er ated de nu da tion close to the mas sif. Ap a tite fis sion track data show that >~3.6 km of rock must have been eroded since the Turonian, while the re sults of zir con (U-Th)/He anal y sis sug gest that in places ero sion of >~6 km of rock must have taken place. This picture dif fers from pre vi ous es ti mates of de nu da tion which sug gested that only 2-2.5 km has been eroded from the ax ial part of the Karkonosze dome since the ex po sure of gran ite batholith in the Perm ian.
