The Central Western Carpathians do not form a continuous mountain range, but crop out within the mostly unfolded Central Carpathian Palaeogene and Neogene basins as the so-called Core Mountains. Within most Core Mountains, the magnetic fabrics often are coaxial in metamorphic, granitic and covering sedimentary rocks, being partially or entirely deformational in origin. On the other hand, the orientations of the magnetic fabric differ between the individual Core Mountains. In addition, the Central Carpathian Palaeogene rocks show signs of increasing ductile deformation towards the NW margin of the Central West Carpathians. These phenomena are interpreted to result from young, probably Neogene, movements associated with the closure of neighbouring flysch basin.
