The mechanisms driving the interplay between tectonics and sedimentation in extensional back-arc basins overlying rheological weak zones inherited from an earlier orogenic evolution are less understood. A typical example is the Pannonian back-arc basin of Central Europe. It is floored by continental lithosphere and was affected by large amounts of extension driven by the subduction rollback that took place in the Carpathians and/or Dinarides. A novel kinematic and seismic sequence stratigraphic interpretation calibrated by wells allows the quantification of the link between the formation of half grabens and coeval sedimentation in the Great Hungarian Plain part of the basin. While the lower order tectonic-induced cycles characterize the main phases of extension in various subbasins, the higher-order cyclicity and associated unconformities define individual moments of fault (re)activation. Our novel interpretation of a temporal and spatial migration of extension during Miocene times explains the contrasting present-day strike of various subbasins as a result of their gradual clockwise rotation. Incorporating the observed asymmetry, in particular the associated footwall exhumation, infers that the amount of extension is much larger than previously thought. The quantitative link between tectonics and sedimentation has allowed the definition of a novel model of sedimentation in asymmetric basins that can be ported to other natural scenarios of similarly hyperextended back-arc basins observed elsewhere. ©2016.

The height of the clinoforms (and thus the inferred paleo water depth) is 200-600 m in the successions; the width of the slope, measured from the shelf-break down to the toe of slope, varies between 5 and 15 km. Geographical position of successive shelf-margin slopes indicates that about 2/3 of the basin area was filled by sediment transport systems supplying sediments from the NW, from the Alps and Western Carpathians. The first shelf-margin slope was built by the paleo-Danube in the Kisalföld/Danube sub-basin about 10 Ma ago, and during the subsequent 6 Ma it prograded ca. 400 km to the SE across the Pannonian Basin, with an average of 67 km/Ma slope advance. The most significant agent of this shelf growth was the sediment dispersal system of the paleo-Danube, hence we designate this northwestern shelf the paleo-Danube shelf. The northeastern part of Lake Pannon was filled by the paleo-Tisza system, supplying sediments from the Northeastern and Eastern Carpathians. Additional local systems carried sediments from E to W along the eastern margin and S to N along the southern margin of the Pannonian Basin, respectively. The deep-water environment disappeared from the Pannonian Basin and the endemic, brackish biota of Lake Pannon went extinct probably 4 Ma ago, when the paleo-Danube shelf margin and a (yet unidentified) shelf margin prograding in the opposite direction met in the southeastern corner of the Pannonian Basin. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

(SW Hungary) in order to study post-Miocene tectonic activity, with an aim of supplementing studies on the longterm stability of the region. Field observations showed that young movements affected only the mountain fronts and the foreland. From the 24 studied exposures, those with impacts of tectonic activity were located along the major fault zones of the Western Mecsek Mts. and prove tectonic/seismic events occurring as late as the Late Pleistocene along the Mecsekalja Dislocation Zone and probably the Hetvehely–Magyarszék Fault. On the contrary, no impact of neotectonic activity was found within the Western Mecsek Anticline, indicating that this area behaved as a single solid block during post-Miocene movements. Since the Karpatian age, 5 tectonic phases could be distinguished. From these – somewhat opposing previous research – transtension seems typical for the Karpatian along the Hetvehely–Magyarszék Fault. The Early Pannonian transtensional stress field did not cease to exist at the beginning of the Late Pannonian. Tectonic inversion started only within the first half of the Late Pannonian and can be considered active up to present day in the major part of the area.

Sediments from the northern Alpine Molasse Basin, the Vienna, and the Pannonian Basins located in the western and central part of the Paratethys thus provide unique information on regional changes in climate and oceanography during a period of active Alpine uplift. Oxygen isotope compositions of well-preserved phosphatic fossils recovered from the sediments support deposition under sub-tropical to warm-temperate climate with water temperatures of 14 to 28 °C for the Miocene. δ18O values of fossil shark teeth are similar to those reported for other Miocene marine sections and, using the best available estimates of their biostratigraphic age, show a variation until the end of the Badenian similar to that reported for composite global record. The 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of the fossils follow the global Miocene seawater trend, albeit with a much larger scatter. The deviations of 87Sr/86Sr in the samples from the well-constrained seawater curve are interpreted as due to local input of terrestrially-derived Sr. Contribution of local sources is also reflected in the εNd values, consistent with input from ancient crystalline rocks (e.g., Bohemian Massif) and/or Mesozoic sediments with εNd < - 9. On the other hand, there is evidence for input from areas with Neogene volcanism as suggested by samples with elevated εNd values > - 7. Excluding samples showing local influence on the water column, an average εNd value of - 7.9 ± 0.5 may be inferred for the Miocene Paratethys.

At least four ENE-WSW striking zones-the Northern Imbricates, the South Mecsek zone, the Gorcsony-Mariakemend ridge and the Villany Mountains-were confirmed as regional long-lived transpressive zones with very complicated internal deformation, frequently with oppositely dipping thrust faults. Tertiary structural history began with a roughly N-S-directed shortening in the South Mecsek zone. It was followed by a NE-SW-directed transpression activating practically all important wrench zones together with perpendicular transfer faults. Basins were created along some of these deformation zones, but were also affected by major tilts due to inversion. After a relatively quiescent period in the Middle Miocene, the Late Sarmatian inversion followed. Shortly after, this event was relayed by a NE-SW-directed extension-transtension. An important inversion period characterised by NW-SE compression occurred in Late Pannonian (Messinian), when all the former wrench zones were reactivated as right-lateral shear. This event is responsible for the present topography of the region. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

This allowed us to achieve significant progress in the understanding of the structure, tectonic evolution, stratigraphic features and hydrocarbon generation in the Pannonian Basin. The Pannonian region has been an integral part of the Alpine belt, and it reveals the complexity of orogenic evolution. Continental to oceanic rifting, followed by convergence, subduction and continental collision shaped the Palaeozoic-Mesozoic substrata of the region. Subsequently, two periods of basin formation (Late Cretaceous and Palaeogene) occurred, most probably in compressional setting. From the earliest Miocene large scale lateral displacement and block rotation took place in the internal domain of the orogen, together with the formation of the Pannonian Basin. This has been characterized by lithospheric extension, however, interrupted by compressional events. The modern Pannonian Basin is in an initial phase of positive structural inversion.

The deep subbasins of the lake formed during the transgressive interval, in more basinward locations than the deep basins of the preceding Sarmatian age.

There is no evidence for earthquakes of extensional origin. 2-D model calculation of the subsidence history shows that a recent increase in magnitude of horizontal compressional intraplate stress can explain fairly well the observed Quaternary uplift and subsidence pattern.

The very heterogeneously distributed extension is accommodated by transfer faults, which bound regions characterized by different polarity, direction, or amount of extension. In cross section these transfer faults are characterized by flower structures, typical for strike-slip faults. Seismic stratigraphic interpretations indicate that the non-marine post-rift sedimentary fill of the Pannonian Basin can be described in terms of sequence stratigraphy. The exceptionally good seismic sequence resolution allows recognition of third-order and also fourth-order depositional sequences, which may reflect the interplay of tectonics and eustasy, and Milankovitch scale climatic variations, respectively.}, year = {1992}, eissn = {1879-3266}, pages = {203-219} }
