Przejawy ruchów neotektonicznych i współczesnych w bocheńskiej kopalni soli kamiennej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Toboła, Tomasz; Bezkorowajny, Andrzej
Examination of neotectonics and recent tectonic movements of the Carpathian mountains and neighbouring geological structures have been carried out since a few decades. On the basis of geological and geomorphological examination Bochnia, the district situated at the border of the Carpathian flysch and the Carpathian Foredeep, has been ranked among neotectonically uplifted structures. The Bochnia salt deposit has been exploited since middle of the 13th century and may be a very convenient object for the study of geodynamic events and influence of neotectonic and recent movements on geological structure of the deposit. In the present paper the authors make an attempt at evaluation of recent and neotectonic movements within the rock mass. The main task was to distinguish such indicators which would make it possible to recognize the presence of tectonic movements originating after the last stage of salt deposit formation as well as those resulting from present-day activity of the Carpathians. Observations carried out in the Bochnia salt mine enable us to list the following indicators as: deformations of such secondary rocks as fibrous salt veins, disturbances of some surfaces of discontinuity and differentiated rate of convergence of the mine galleries.
Egzotyki strefy krynickiej (płaszczowina magurska) i ich znaczenie paleogeograficzne
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Oszczypko, Nestor; Oszczypko-Clowes, Marta; Salata, Dorota
Sedimentary beds containing exotic pebbles occur in the Krynica Subunit. They occur mainly in deposits of the Szczawnica, Zarzecze and Magura fms. Pelagic limestones (Tithonian- -Neocomian) and lithothamnium limestones (Palaeogene) were recognized among sedimentary rocks of the Krynica Zone. Volcanites, rarely granitoides as well as schists, gneisses, quartzites and cataclasites were found in the group of crystalline exotic pebbles. The exotic pebbles from the Eocene--Oligocene beds of the Krynica Zone differ from those found in the Jarmuta Fm (Maastrichtian--Palaeocene) of the Grajcarek Unit. The exotic pebbles of the Krynica Subunit do not have direct connection with the Pieniny Klippen Belt, whereas crystalline rocks derived from a continental terrain. The provenance of these rocks could be connected with Eocene exhumation of the Magura Basin basement or with the Inner Carpathian realm (Inner Dacides and/or Tisza terrain).
Blueschists in the Cretaceous exotic conglomerates of the Klape Unit (Pieniny Klippen Belt, Western Carpathians): their genetic types and implications for source area
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Ivan, Peter; Sykora, Milan; Demko, Rastislav
In the Klape Unit of the Pieniny Klippen Belt the Albian conglomerates with clasts of exotic carbonates, clastic sediments and also volcanic and plutonic rocks are relatively widespread. In the small area near the town Povażska Bystrica also scarce blueschist clasts of variegated petrographic types have been found. Three groups of starting rocks can be discerned for blueschists: pelagic sediments, metamorphic rocks (amphibolites, gneisses) and volcanic rocks. Based on immobile trace element (HFSE, REE) distribution two petrogenetic types of volcanic rocks have been identified: basalts with BABB signature and calc-alkaline basaltic andesites to rhyolites. Source of these rocks was probably a nappe stack located in the Carpathian interior and created in the Late Jurassic time as a result of subduction of the oceanic crust and adjacent volcanic arc and followed by collision during the Meliata Ocean closure.
Pebbles of siliceous clastics and siliceous rocks in conglomerates of flysch sequences (Albian, Cenomanian) in vicinity of the Povażska Bystrica town, Klape Unit, Pieniny Klippen Belt, Western Carpathians
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Zat'ko, Ferdinand; Sýkora, Milan
Pebbles of siliceous clastic rocks were not particularly petrographically studied so far in the Cretaceous exotic conglomerates of the Western Carpathians. They occur in polymictic conglomerates representing sediments of gravity flows. The pebbles of clastic rocks are known continuously in many places of the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB). Their average content in the conglomerates is up to 25%. Analysed were mainly pebbles of sandstones and conglomerates. According to degree of mineralogical maturity, diagenesis and sometimes low degree of metamorphism we infer their pre-Mesozoic age. No fossils were found in the examined rocks. Some of them were turmalinized. Except of clastic sediments, radiolarites, lydites (rarely with silicified plant tissue), and jaspers were identified. According to microscopic study, the siliceous sandstones and conglomerates mostly consist of quartz, feldspars, lithoclasts, heavy minerals and matrix (often chloritic). Their compositons were plotted in triangular diagrams Q-F-L (Quartz, Feldspars, Lithoclasts). The diagrams were compared with the diagrams of similar clastic rocks which are known from the sequences of Tatricum, Veporicum, Hronicum and Gemericum. The diagrams of clastic rocks of the Pieniny Klippen Belt conglomerates are apparently different from those of clastic rocks of the Central and Inner Western Carpathians.
