Throughout this time, in what is now southern Hungary, homoclinal ramps developed, which also exhibit some evidence of partial distal steepening. The nearly 1 km thick Anisian-Ladinian Muschelkalk carbonates are grouped into six depositional units. In each ramp unit facies types were identified representing coastal sabkhas, inner ramp peritidal facies, backshoal lagoons, oolite shoals, storm to fair-weather influenced mid-ramps, proximal to distal shell beds and low-energy outer ramps. Mid- and inner ramp carbonates make up the majority of the successions. The deepest outer ramp facies correspond to the peak transgression of a second-order Triassic sea-level rise. In the Hungarian Muschelkalk three major transgressive-regressive sequences were identified. In Germany, Poland and Spain much thinner and slightly coarser Muschelkalk carbonate successions were formed in the same Mid-Triassic interval. The major sediment redistribution processes were related to storms that generated coquinas, and mud flow deposits. Slow, early diagenesis and the predominance of unstable muddy substrate led to the formation of small-scale slumps, slides and plastic deformation. The fauna reflects the prevalence of carbonate mud and temporarily high-stress conditions. A non 'cool water' origin of this ramp is inferred from the presence of evaporites, early dolomization of inner ramp carbonates, the biota and the palaeogeographical setting. The major controlling factors of Mid-Triassic ramps were the gentle antecedent morphology, the subtropical climate, the high production of carbonate mud and the lack of reef-building organisms, as well as the passive margin setting, which resulted in a moderate and relatively uniform subsidence rate over a wide area.

These rocks were situated several hundred km apart from one another during their formation, and subsequent large lateral displacements resulted in their present positions. They formed during a relatively wide temporal range (Middle Triassic to Late Cretaceous) through different petrogenetic processes associated with the Mesozoic evolution of the northwestern part of Tethys. In the Transdanubian subunit of the Alcapa block, Middle Triassic calc-alkaline, intermediateto-acidic, and potassic rocks occur as pyroclastics, lava flows, and dikes in the Bakony and Buda mountains. The Gemer-Bükk subunit of the Alcapa block comprises two different igneous series: (1) slightly metamorphosed Middle Triassic volcanic rocks of the Eastern Bükk Mountains, which can be divided into an older (Anisian-Early Ladinian) calc-alkaline, intermediateto-acidic volcanic series and a younger (Late Ladinian) alkaline basaltic series; and (2) two series of the Middle Triassic to Middle Jurassic ophiolite complex (Bódva Magmatic Series and Darnó-Szarvaskö Magmatic Series), embedded in a tectonic mélange and in an olistostrome suite along a SW-NE-oriented zone. The Tisza block contains Early Cretaceous alkaline volcanic rocks in the Mecsek-Alföld subunit. Strong temporal and geochemical correlations have been observed between the Middle Triassic volcanic rocks of the Bakony and Buda mountains and the Southern Alps, and those of the Eastern Bükk Mountains and the Outer Dinarides. We propose that all these rocks were formed during the same extension-related volcanic activity along the Southern Alps-Bakony and Buda mountains-Eastern Bükk Mountains-Dinarides region. The Middle Triassic-Middle Jurassic ultramafic-mafic igneous rocks of the Gemer-Bükk subunit can be correlated with the ophiolites of the Inner Dinarides. Geochemistry of the mafic rocks is consistent with an origin from an N-MORB and E-MORB source mantle. The Middle to Late Triassic ultramafic and mafic rocks of the Bódva and Darnó-Szarvaskö series could have originated along the mid-oceanic ridge system of the northwestern segment of the Vardar ocean (Meliaticum). The Middle Jurassic igneous rocks of the Darnó-Szarvaskö series could have corresponded to the opening of a backarc basin. Early Cretaceous alkaline volcanic rocks of the Mecsek-Alföld zone in the Tisza block formed as a result of continental rifting along the southern margin of the European plate. Two volcanic series - a mafic and a sodic group - were generated from an OIB-like asthenospheric mantle. Separation of the Tisza block from the European plate occurred contemporaneously with volcanic activity during the late Early Cretaceous.

To explain this setting, based on various concepts, a number of models have been proposed in the last decade. Most of them agree in an eastward escape of the ''North Pannonian terrane'' from the Alpine domain towards the Pannonian during the Palaeogene-Early Miocene period. In the present paper a reconstruction of the pre-escape setting of the displaced terranes is presented based on facies zones in selected time-slices from the Late Permian to the Late Triassic. According to our reconstruction the Inner West Carpathian units were located east of the Austroalpine units forming the northern shelf of the ''Euhallstatt''-Meliatic basin of the Vardar oceanic branch. The Drauzug should have been located in a position much more external than its present-day setting. The Transdanubian Range was situated in the northern neighbourhood of the Southern Alps, whereas the Bukk may have been located adjacent to the NW Dinarides. The Mid-Transdanubian zone is a major shear-zone containing elements of the Julian Alps and Sava folds nappe system and the Inner Dinaric ophiolitic melange. Although the nappe-tectonism may have played an important role in the structural evolution of the ''North Pannonian terrane'', this mechanism alone can hardly produce hundreds of kilometres of facies offset on the opposite sides of strike-slip zones.

AB - The paleobiogeography of the Jurassic brachiopods of the Alpine-Carpathian region and adjacent areas is discussed on the basis of the distribution of ''distinctive taxa''. The Jurassic microplates of the western part of Tethys and the present-day ''terranes'' of the Alpine-Carpathian region are outlined and their relationships are discussed. The migration possibilities of the brachiopods in the Jurassic Tethys were controlled mainly by plate/microplate movements and by changes in the oceanic current system. The Mediterranean microcontinent, isolated from the European and African shelves by oceanic/deep-sea belts, was the homeland of the Mediterranean brachiopod province. In the course of the Jurassic, the Mediterranean microcontinent moved, as part of the African plate, away from Europe, the widening Alboran-Ligurian-Penninic oceanic belt became a barrier preventing migration of brachiopods. By the end of the Middle Jurassic the Tisza microplate detached from Europe and formed a ''stepping stone'' for brachiopod dispersal. At about the same time, the ''Hesperian Strait'' opened between the basins of the Tethys and the Central Atlantic. The opening of this strait resulted in a reorganization of the Tethyan current system. The westward flowing equatorial currents which made a turn in the western corner of Tethys in the first half of the Mesozoic, now ran to the west through the Hesperian Strait via the Central Atlantic to the Pacific. This change produced a new pattern in brachiopod distribution: the Mediterranean fauna successfully invaded the European shelf, at the same time the Mediterranean province became impoverished.

AB - The Outer Carpathian flysch nappes encircle an Intra-Carpathian domain which can be divided into two megatectonic units (North Pannonian and Tisza) mostly on the basis of contrasting Mesozoic and Palaeogene facies development. We see two major kinematic problems to be solved: (1) The present distribution of the Mesozoic and Palaeogene facies is mosaic-like, and some belts form exotic bodies within realms of Austroalpine affinity. (2) Late Eocene palinspastic reconstruction of the Outer Carpathian flysch nappes suggest, that the entire Intra-Carpathian area must have been located several hundreds of kilometres to the south and to the west of its present position. Neogene extension can account for shortening in the external Carpathian nappes, but is unable to explain Mesozoic facies anomalies and offsets of Palaeogene formations. We suggest that evolution of the Intra-Carpathian area involved first Late Palaeogene-Early Miocene juxtaposition of the North-Pannonian and Tisza megatectonic units, accompanied by the closure of the external Carpathian flysch troughs; thereafter extension of this amalgamated unit occurred, which was compensated by thrusting of flysch nappes onto the European foreland and formation of molasse foredeeps. Eastward escape of the North-Pannonian unit from the Alpine collisional belt involved left lateral shear along the Pieniny Klippen belt and right lateral shear along the Mid-Hungarian zone. Parts of the Late Palaeogene basin and an Early Miocene volcanic edifice were dissected, offset and elongated by several 100 kms. The driving mechanism of the eastward escape of the Intra-Carpathian area can be related to the collision of Apulia and Europe and the subduction of the external Carpathian crust under the Pannonian units. The escape ceased gradually in the Early Miocene, when oblique collision between the North-Pannonian unit and European continent occurred. Neogene extension of the Pannonian region was an areal deformation. The extension at locally variable rate resulted in the break-up of the heterogenous floor of the Neogene basin. The driving mechanism of basin extension and contemporaneous compressional deformation of the external Carpathians is thought to be related to ongoing subduction, involving the marginal part of the attenuated European continental crust. Tectonic activity in the Carpathians and basin subsidence and volcanism shifted in time and in unison from the west toward the east-southeast.
