Structural and palaeomagnetic data collected in pre-Neogene rocks at Medvednica Mountains, combined with palaeomagnetic data available from Neogene rocks in the surrounding area, point to the following conclusions: (1) The reason for dramatic deflection in structural trend of the Internal Dinarides in the area north of Zagreb is a 130 degrees clockwise rotation and eastward escape of a tectonic block comprising Medvednica Mountains and the Surrounding inselbergs, bounded to the north by the easternmost tip of the Periadratic Lineament, In Medvednica Mountains, the main period of tectonic escape and associated clockwise rotation occurred in the Late Palaeogene, possibly in the Oligocene-earliest Miocene. (2) When rotated into the original position, the trend of observed pre-Neogene structures of Medvednica Mountains becomes parallel to the major structural trend of the central Dinarides. In view of their original orientation, these structures are interpreted in the following way: (a) The first D1 deformational event is attributed to the Aptian-Albian nappe stacking ill the central-northern Dinarides that was accommodated by a top-to-the-north directed shearing and northward propagation of already obducted ophiolites of the Central Dinaridic ophiolite zone. This nappe stacking, which resulted in a weak regional metamorphism ill tectonic units underlying the ophiolites. was orogen-parallel or at a very acute angle to known structural (and possibly palaeogeographic) trends. This implies a major left-lateral shear component along the former Adriatic margin and obducted Dinaridic ophiolite zone. (b) This was followed by Early Albian orogen-perpendicular shortening (D2) that was accommodated by folding and top-to-the-west thrusting. This deformation resulted in gradual cooling of the metamorphic stack and also in uplift and erosion of the higher structural units. (c) The D3 deformational event was driven by renewed E-W shortening that took place after the Paleocene, most probably during the Middle Eocene-Oligocene, i.e. synchronous with the main Dinaridic tectonic phase of the External Dinarides. This shortening was probably triggered by collision and thrusting of Tisia over the northern segment of the Internal Dinarides. (d) This was finally followed by D4 pervasive, right-lateral N-S shearing that is tentatively interpreted as being related to the right-lateral shearing of the Sava zone during the Eocene-Oligocene. (e) Following the main period of tectonic escape and induced clockwise rotation along the Periadriatic fault, possibly in the Oligocene-earliest Miocene, the Medvednica Mountains and the surrounding area were affected by repeated extensions and inversions since the Early Miocene to recent times. Palaeomagnetic data suggest that in the Early Miocene (but probably before the Karpatian) this area was part of a regional block that shifted northwards and rotated in a counter-clockwise sense. A second episode of counter-clockwise rotation occurred at the present latitude in post-Pontian times (since c. 5 Ma), driven by the counter-clockwise rotating Adriatic Plate.}, keywords = {SUBDUCTION; Pannonian Basin; Miocene; Eastern Alps; PART; ZONE; TERTIARY COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION; GEODYNAMIC EVOLUTION; VARDAR; PALEOMAGNETIC EVIDENCE}, year = {2008}, eissn = {2041-4927}, pages = {145-167}, orcid-numbers = {Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke/0000-0002-2135-8867} } @article{MTMT:1236932, title = {Mesozoic plate tectonic reconstruction of the carpathian region}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1236932}, author = {Csontos, L and Vörös, Attila}, doi = {10.1016/j.palaeo.2004.02.033}, journal-iso = {PALAEOGEOGR PALAEOCL}, journal = {PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY}, volume = {210}, unique-id = {1236932}, issn = {0031-0182}, abstract = {Palaeomagnetic, palaeobiogeographic and structural comparisons of different parts of the Alpine-Carpathian region suggest that four terranes comprise this area: the Alcapa, Tisza, Dacia and Adria terranes. These terranes are composed of different Mesozoic continental and oceanic fragments that were each assembled during a complex Late Jurassic-Cretaceous Palaeogene history. Palaeomagnetic and tectonic data suggest that the Carpathians are built up by two major oroclinal bends. The Alcapa bend has the Meliata oceanic unit, correlated with the Dinaric Vardar ophiolite, in its core. It is composed of the Western Carpathians, Eastern Alps and Southern Alcapa units (Transdanubian Range, Bukk). This terrane finds its continuation in the High Karst margin of the Dinarides. Further elements of the Alcapa terrane are thought to be derived from collided microcontinents: Czorsztyn in the N and a carbonate unit (Tisza?) in the SE. The Tisza-Dacia bend has the Vardar oceanic unit in its core. It is composed of the Bihor and Getic microcontinents. This terrane finds its continuation in the Serbo-Macedonian Massif of the Balkans. The Bihor-Getic microcontinent originally laid east of the Western Carpathians and filled the present Carpathian embayment in the Late Palaeozoic-Early Mesozoic. The Vardar ocean occupied an intermediate position between the Western Carpathian-Austroalpine-Transdanubian-High Karst margin and the Bihor-Getic-Serbo-Macedonian microcontinent. The Vardar and Pindos oceans were opened in the heart of the Mediterranean-Adriatic microcontinent in the Late Permian-Middle Triassic. Vardar subducted by the end of Jurassic, causing the Bihor-Getic-Serbo-Macedonian microcontinent to collide with the internal Dinaric-Western Carpathian margin. An external Penninic-Vahic ocean tract began opening in the Early Jurassic, separating the Austroalpine-Western Carpathian microcontinent (and its fauna) from the European shelf. Further east, the Severin-Ceahlau-Magura also began opening in the Early Jurassic, but final separation of the Bihor-Getic ribbon (and its fauna) from the European shelf did not take place until the late Middle Jurassic. The Alcapa and the Tisza-Dacia were bending during the Albian-Maastrichtian. The two oroclinal bends were finally opposed and pushed into the gates of the Carpathian embayment during the Palaeogene and Neogene. At that time, the main NS shortening in distant Alpine and Hellenic sectors was linked by a broader right-lateral shear zone along the former Vardar suture. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

First, Early Miocene extension was possibly characterised by ENE directed extension. It was partly synchronous with NW-SE shortening. Second, Middle Miocene extension was possibly characterised by NW-SE to WNW-ESE directed extension. Again, this event was followed by a new generation of thrusts related to end-Sarmatian shortening. The last, Late Miocene E-W to WNW-ESE directed extension was followed by a final shortening that created major, map-scale folds, basement pop-ups and inverted former basins. Geometry, onlap and thickness patterns of the youngest syn-tectonic basin fill indicate that this last, N-S to NW-SE directed shortening started in Late Pontian and continued up to the present time. When taking into account the wider surrounding area, it seems that the structures related to this latest shortening are arranged in often perpendicular directions, centred at the eastern end of the Periadriatic lineament. To explain this fan-like pattern of synchronous shortenings a kinematic model is proposed combining counter-clockwise rotation with north- or northwestward shift of the Dinaridic block with respect to the more stable Alpine buttress.}, year = {2001}, eissn = {1437-3262}, pages = {560-578} } @article{MTMT:1019043, title = {Complex structural pattern of the Alpine-Dinaridic-Pannonian triple junction}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1019043}, author = {Haas, János and P, Mioć and J, Pamić and B, Tomljenović and Árkai, Péter and A, Bérczi-Makk and Kovács, Sándor and B, Koroknai and E, Rálisch-Felgenhauer}, doi = {10.1007/s005310000093}, journal-iso = {INT J EARTH SCI}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EARTH SCIENCES}, volume = {89}, unique-id = {1019043}, issn = {1437-3254}, year = {2000}, eissn = {1437-3262}, pages = {377-389}, orcid-numbers = {Haas, János/0000-0003-0929-8889} } @article{MTMT:1021656, title = {Jurassic palaeogeography of the Transdanubian Central Range (Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1021656}, author = {Vörös, Attila and Galácz, András}, doi = {10.13130/2039-4942/6112}, journal-iso = {RIV IT PALEON STRATIG}, journal = {RIVISTA ITALIANA DI PALEONTOLOGIA E STRATIGRAFIA}, volume = {104}, unique-id = {1021656}, issn = {0035-6883}, abstract = {The Transdanubian Central Range (TCR) is a flattened range of hills in northern Transdanubia (Hungary), formed mainly by Mesozoic carbonate rocks showing strong facies similarities with the Southern Alps and the Austroalpine domain. The Jurassic system is divided into several formations of predominantly pelagic limestones. Ammonoids are frequent and were collected bed-by-bed in numerous sections, providing an excellent biostratigraphic resolution. The thickness of the Jurassic system is usually small but changes along the strike of the TCR. It reaches a maximum thickness of 500 m in the western part; is very variable (10-400 m) in the central segment (Bakony Mts.) and rather low (less than 100 m) in the east (Gerecse). In the Bakony segment, the thickness variation reflects the strongly dissected topography of the Jurassic sea-floor. Synsedimentary tectonics is dominated by normal faults; tilted blocks and listric faults may be inferred only in the east. Five main steps were identified in the palaeogeographic evolution: 1) Late Hettangian: carbonate oolitic shoals prevail, except for a few sites where non-deposition or neritic sediments occur. 2) Sinemurian and Pliensbachian: tectonic disintegration resulted in an intricate pattern of submarine horsts and intervening basins, with condensed sedimentation or non-deposition on the horsts and thicker, continuous sedimentary sequences in the basins. The submarine topographic highs are surrounded by aprons of redeposited material (scarp breccias, brachiopod coquinas, crinoida calcarenites, spiculitic cherry limestones), while pure or argillaceous limestones (Rosso Ammonitico) prevail in the distal areas. 3) Early Toarcian: the Tethys-wide anoxic event is superimposed on the previous submarine bottom topography; the resulting black shales and sedimentary Mn-ores are concentrated on the western sides of some horsts. 4) Dogger to Early Maim: radiolarites with heterochronous lower and upper boundaries (Aalenian to Kimmeridgian) prevail, except for the top of some submarine topographic highs. The absence of uppermost Bathonian to Lower Oxfordian carbonates suggests that the whole TCR sunk below the CCD in those times. 5) Latest Jurassic: the uniform deposition of Rosso Ammonitico and Biancone in the Late Kimmeridgian and Tithonian is interrupted only in the Early Tithonian by local intercalations of scarp breccias and coarse biodetrital limestones. This is interpreted as the last manifestation of synsedimentary tectonic movements along the faults bordering the submarine horsts. Based on palaeogeographic similarities and analogies in Jurassic times, the TCR is visualized as the northern foreground of the Trento platform/plateau (lying north of the later Insubric lineament), where the block-tectonic disintegration and differential subsidence started earlier and resulted in a bottom morphology more dissected than in the South Alpine part of this west Tethyan passive margin.}, year = {1998}, eissn = {2039-4942}, pages = {69-84} } @article{MTMT:1447557, title = {Stratigraphic and micromineralogic investigations on Cretaceous formations of the Gerecse Mountains, Hungary and their palaeogeographic implications}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1447557}, author = {Császár, Géza and Árgyelán, GB}, doi = {10.1006/cres.1994.1024}, journal-iso = {CRETACEOUS RES}, journal = {CRETACEOUS RESEARCH}, volume = {15}, unique-id = {1447557}, issn = {0195-6671}, year = {1994}, eissn = {1095-998X}, pages = {417-434} } @article{MTMT:21017, title = {Jurassic microplate movements and brachiopod migrations in the western part of the Tethys}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/21017}, author = {Vörös, Attila}, doi = {10.1016/0031-0182(93)90037-J}, journal-iso = {PALAEOGEOGR PALAEOCL}, journal = {PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY}, volume = {100}, unique-id = {21017}, issn = {0031-0182}, abstract = {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.}, year = {1993}, eissn = {1872-616X}, pages = {125-145} } @article{MTMT:1383046, title = {THE EVOLUTION OF THE MELIATA-HALLSTATT OCEAN AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE EARLY EVOLUTION OF THE EASTERN ALPS AND WESTERN CARPATHIANS}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1383046}, author = {Kozur, Heinz}, doi = {10.1016/0031-0182(91)90132-B}, journal-iso = {PALAEOGEOGR PALAEOCL}, journal = {PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY}, volume = {87}, unique-id = {1383046}, issn = {0031-0182}, abstract = {The evolution of the Meliata-Hallstatt ocean and of its southern and northern margin in the Inner Western Carpathians are described. The main rifting began during the Pelsonian and the sea-floor spreading ended at the beginning of the Middle Carnian contemporaneously with the Raibl event. The subduction began in the latest Triassic and the final closing of the ocean, accompanied by uplift of the adjacent marginal areas, was dated as basal Oxfordian. Remnants of the oceanic-suboceanic sequence occur in two tectonic positions: (1) Obducted nappes that contain, mostly as tectonic melanges, the whole Middle Triassic to Middle Jurassic sequence, including large bodies of dismembered ophiolites of Ladinian to Early Carnian age. (2) Evaporite melanges at the base of nappes that are derived from the northern margin of the ocean. These evaporite melanges consist of Late Permian evaporitic matrix and blocks of a dismembered Ladinian to Lower Carnian ophiolitic sequence. In the Inner Western Carpathians both the northern and southern marginal sequences of the Meliata-Hallstatt ocean and the transitions into the carbonate platforms are present in different nappes. The southern marginal development is characterized by Middle Carnian distal clastic Raibl Beds and by Middle Jurassic rhyolithic volcanism, both missing in the northern marginal development. Because the subduction-related Middle Jurassic volcanism (contemporaneous with the turbidites in the southern Meliaticum) is restricted to the marginal area south of the Meliata-Hallstatt ocean, southward-directed subduction is indicated. To the south, on the adjacent carbonate platform, a Jurassic basin with Aalenian to Bajocian ophiolites opened. This may be a back-arc basin. In the Eastern Alps only the northern marginal zone and the adjacent carbonate platform are preserved, but parts of the dismembered ophiolites in the Haselgebirge may be of Ladinian to Late Carnian age like in evaporitic melanges in the same tectonic position in the Inner Western Carpathians. The final closing of the Meliata-Hallstatt ocean is indicated by the abrupt end of the turbiditic sedimentation in the oceanic suboceanic domain and by uplift in the marginal areas, where Lower Oxfordian radiolarites are overlain by shallow-water Upper Oxfordian to Tithonian or Neocomian limestones (Silica Nappe, Hallstatt Nappes). With the evidence of the final closing of the Meliata-Hallstatt ocean near the Middle/Late Jurassic boundary, the Cimmerian orogenesis (in the genetic sense of Sengor, 1984, 1985) is now also proven in the Inner Western Carpathians and in the Eastern Alps. A continuation of the Meliata-Hallstatt ocean into the Pontide ''Paleotethys'' (= Cimmerian ocean sensu Kozur, 1990) through the Transylvanian oceanic domain and the Strandzha Unit is assumed. A connection with the Vardar ocean is impossible, because in the Vardar Zone no Triassic ophiolites or basic volcanics are present and the ophiolites have Jurassic age.}, year = {1991}, eissn = {1872-616X}, pages = {109-135} } @article{MTMT:1782870, title = {LARGE-SCALE STRIKE-SLIP DISPLACEMENT OF THE DRAUZUG AND THE TRANSDANUBIAN MOUNTAINS IN EARLY ALPINE HISTORY - EVIDENCE FROM PERMO-MESOZOIC FACIES BELTS}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1782870}, author = {SCHMIDT, T and BLAU, J and Kázmér, Miklós}, doi = {10.1016/0040-1951(91)90016-L}, journal-iso = {TECTONOPHYSICS}, journal = {TECTONOPHYSICS}, volume = {200}, unique-id = {1782870}, issn = {0040-1951}, abstract = {Both the Drauzug (Italy, Austria) and the Transdanubian Mountains (Hungary) show great differences in facies compared to the geological units that presently surround them, i.e. proximal facies contrast with distal facies in the Permo-Triassic.
