“…It appears that the central Pannonian basin is characterised by two extensional stages (Lankreijer et al, 1995;Fodor et al, 2000). Typical subsidence histories for the border and central areas are illustrated in Fig.s 5a-d (Royden et al, 1983b;Lankreijer et al, 1995).…”

“…In this phase strong differential thinning of the mantle lithosphere in the order of δ = 4 − 8, is required to explain the observations (Sclater et al, 1980;Royden et al, 1983b;Lankreijer et al, 1995), whereas only minor additional thinning affected the crust. Subsidence analysis for the Little Hungarian Plain and for the Great Hungarian Plain illustrates the two-stage extensional history of the Pannonian basin (Figs.…”

“…Several studies document the Neogene subsidence and sedimentation history of the main sub basins of the Pannonian basin system (Sclater et al, 1980;Royden et al, 1983b;Lankreijer et al, 1995;Sachsenhofer et al, 1997).

“…Passive rifting in a back-arc extensional setting, which has been proposed to explain the main features of the Pannonian basin (Royden et al, 1983b), may successfully explain only part of the observables, e.g. the crustal thinning pattern and the extensional features at the surface.…”

Abstract. We examine a number of first order features of Pannonian basin evolution in terms of the feedback relation between passive far-field induced extension and active Raleigh-Taylor instable upwelling of the asthenosphere. We show that active mantle upwelling following a phase of passive extension are viable mechanisms explaining the Pannonian basin formation. The dynamic interplay between far-field driven passive extension and active thinning of the mantle lithosphere by convective upwelling beneath the rift zone is modelled using thermo-mechanical finite element methods. Our modelling results predict a first phase of passive lithospheric thinning which is followed by a second phase of late syn-rift to post-rift active mantle lithosphere thinning due to buoyancy induced flow beneath the rift zone. The pattern of coeval extension in the thinning region and compression in the flanking regions, predicted by the numerical model, may be explained by the buoyancy forces due to lithosphere thinning. It is demonstrated that time scales of and stresses generated by both processes are comparable. The model might also explain the occurrence of late shallow mantle related decompression melts in the Pannonian region and late regional doming.

This study tests alternative models for the growth of the Tatry Mountains (Central Western Carpathians) by the application of low-temperature thermochronology. Zircon (U + Th)/He ages from the north of the range are mostly between 48 and 37 Ma and indicate cooling prior to the onset of fore-arc sedimentation in the region (42-39 Ma). In contrast, zircon (U + Th)/He ages in the south of the range are around 22 Ma. Apatite fission track ages across the sampled sites range from 20 to 15 Ma. Apatite (U + Th)/He ages range from 18 to 14 Ma with little variation with elevation or horizontal location. Based on thermal modeling and tectonic reconstructions, these Miocene ages are interpreted as cooling in the hanging wall of a northward dipping thrust ramp in the current location of the sub-Tatric fault with cooling rates of 20°C/Myr at~22-14 Ma. Modeled cooling histories require an abrupt deceleration in cooling after~14 Ma to <5°C/Myr. This is associated with termination of deformation in the Outer Carpathians and is synchronous with the transition of the Pannonian Basin from a syn-rift to a postrift stage and with termination of N-S compression in the northern part of the Central Western Carpathians. Overall, the timing of shortening and exhumation is synchronous with the formation of the Outer Carpathian orogen and so the Miocene exhumation of the Tatry records retrovergent thrusting at the northern margin of the Alcapa microplate.

Multiple low-temperature thermochronology constraints on exhumation of the Tatra Mountains: New implication for the complex evolution of the Western Carpathians in the Cenozoic

The tectonothermal evolution of the highest mountain range in the Carpathian arc—the Tatra Mountains— is investigated by zircon and apatite fission track and zircon (U‐Th)/He (ZHe) dating methods in order to unravel the disputed exhumation and geodynamic processes in the Western Carpathians. Our data in combination with geological evidences reveal a complex Cenozoic history, with four major tectonothermal events: (i) a very low grade metamorphism of the crystalline basement at temperatures >240°C due to tectonic burial during the Eo‐Alpine collision in the Late Cretaceous (~80 Ma); (ii) exhumation and cooling of the basement to temperatures <130°C related to postorogenic collapse during Late Cretaceous‐Paleocene times; (iii) Middle Eocene‐Early Miocene reheating to >150°C after burial to 5–9 km depths by the Paleogene fore‐arc basin; (iv) final exhumation of the segmented basement blocks during Oligocene‐Miocene (32–11 Ma) owing to lateral extrusion of the North Pannonian plate and its collision with the European foreland. The spatial pattern of thermochronological data suggests asymmetric exhumation of the Tatra Mountains, beginning in the northwest at ~30–20 Ma with low cooling rates (~1–5°C/Ma) and propagating toward the major fault bounding the range in the south, where the youngest cooling ages (16–9 Ma) and fastest cooling rates (~10–20°C/Ma) are found. Our data prove that the Tatra Mountains shared Cenozoic evolution of other crystalline core mountains in the Western Carpathians. However, the Miocene ZHe ages suggest that the Tatra Mountains were buried to the greatest depths in the Paleogene‐Early Miocene and experienced the greatest amount of Miocene exhumation.
