During the late Oligocene to early Miocene residual Magura Basin was located along front of Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB). This basin supplied with clastic material derived from a south-eastern direction. In Male (Little) Mts. in Poland, Oligocene/ Kremna Fm. Nappe (Krynica subunit) occurs both PKB as well tectonic windows within PKB. Lenses exotic conglomerates contain frequent clasts Mesozoic li...

Formulation of the problem. Modern advances in oceanographic studies sedimentogenesis and orogenesis open up opportunities for in-depth study rocks by fold-nappe systems, including Carpathian region. Review previous research. On territory Carpathians flysch complexes researchers have mainly noted findings carbonates manganese iron nodules.At same time, contain iron-manganese oxide mineralizatio...

The tectono-metamorphic evolution of the European Alps is still contentious. Monte Rosa tectonic unit a prominent nappe in Central and estimates its peak Alpine pressure (P) temperature (T) conditions are essential for reconstructing evolution. However, reported vary considerably between 1.2 2.7 GPa 490 640°C variety lithologies. Here, we show petrology pseudosection modelling metapelitic assem...

The internal zones of the Western Alps arc are derived from an oceanic and continental subduction wedge developed beneath Adria plate during its paleogene northward drift. Exhumation proceded early Oligocene onwards due to westward extrusion plate. prominent fold-and-thrust structures which follow shape, either forward or backward verging, postdate initial nappe stacking overprint differently o...
