“…2b) and seismic cross section along the P4 profile (Fig. 2d) show similar sequences of layers, including complicated Permian (Zechstein) salt diapirs and salt pillows in the TESZ (Krzywiec 2006a, b;Mazur et al 2005). However, the major structural features of the seismic profiles are the basement depth and its velocity differentiation: c. 6.1 km/s for the EEP and c. 5.8 km/s for the WEP (Grad et al 1991(Grad et al , 2003a.…”

“…1b) (e.g., Dadlez 1997;Scheck et al 2002;Mazur et al 2005;Scheck and Lamarche 2005). The study area is located near the western border of the NW-SE-striking Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (TTZ), which represents a crustal-scale boundary that separates the East European Craton from the Palaeozoic Platform of Western Europe (e.g., Kutek and Głazek 1972;Pożaryski and BrochwiczLewiński 1978;Dadlez 1997;Dadlez et al 1995Dadlez et al , 1997Dadlez 2006).…”

“…The prevailing compressional/transpressional stress regime resulted in inversion tectonics at the end of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the Cenozoic along the northern PeriTethyan Platform (e.g., Ziegler 1987). Transmission of horizontal stress resulted from the collisional phases in the Alpine and Carpathian orogens, and additionally the Late Cretaceous Atlantic opening (e.g., Ziegler 1987Ziegler , 1990aGolonka et al 2000;Dadlez 2003;Mazur et al 2005).…”

ABSTRACT:Konon, A., Ostrowski, S., Rybak-Ostrowska, B., Ludwiniak, M., Śmigielski, M., Wyglądała, M., Uroda, J., Kowalczyk, S., Mieszkowski, R. and Kłopotowska, A. 2016. Mnin restraining stepover -evidence of significant Cretaceous-Cenozoic dextral strike-slip faulting along the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone? Acta Geologica Polonica, 66 (3), 429-449. Warszawa.A newly recognized Mnin restraining stepover is identified in the Permo-Mesozoic cover of the western part of the Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt (Poland), within a fault pattern consisting of dextral strikeslip faults. The formation of a large contractional structure at the Late Cretaceous -Cenozoic transition displays the significant role of strike-slip faulting along the western border of the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone, in the foreland of the Polish part of the Carpathian Orogen. Theoretical relationships between the maximum fault offsets/mean step length, as well as between the maximum fault offsets/mean step width allowed the estimation of the values of possible offsets along the Snochowice and Mieczyn faults forming the Mnin stepover. The estimated values suggest displacements of as much as several tens of kilometres. The observed offset along the Tokarnia Fault and theoretical calculations suggest that the strike-slip faults west of the Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt belong to a large strike-slip fault system.We postulate that the observed significant refraction of the faults forming the anastomosing fault pattern is related also to the interaction of the NW-SE-striking faults formed along the western border of the TeisseyreTornquist Zone and the reactivated WNW-ESE-striking faults belonging to the fault systems of the northern margin of the Tethys Ocean.
