“…Predominantly there are two preferred models: (i) on the basis of X-ray diffraction study of illite combined with K-Ar dating of bentonites, Środoń et al (2006) postulate burial beneath variable thickness of Cenozoic sediment pile (~4 km in the west to ~7 km in the east of the study area) at the stable geothermal gradient of 21± 2 °C/km as the only heat source. The authors evaluation of the burial depth is independently supported by fluid-inclusion data published by Hurai et al (2002) that refer to burial depth of 5.3-6.5 km (130-205 °C) close to the Ružbachy fault, and 2-3 km (95-100 °C) in the Orava territory. Besides, Środoń et al (2006) published additional evidence of burial as the only heat source that was revealed by measurements of different grain densities and porosities in the Bukovina and Chocholow wells in the Podhale Basin.…”

Abstract:The Tatra Mts area, located in the northernmost part of Central Western Carpathians on the border between Slovakia and Poland, underwent a complex Alpine tectonic evolution. This study integrates structural, sedimentary, and geomorphological data combined with fission track data from the Variscan granite rocks to discuss the Cretaceous to Quaternary tectonic and landscape evolution of the Tatra Mts. The presented data can be correlated with five principal tectonic stages (TS), including neotectonics. TS-1 (~95-80 Ma) is related to mid-Cretaceous nappe stacking when the Tatric Unit was overlain by Mesozoic sequences of the Fatric and Hronic Nappes. After nappe stacking the Tatric crystalline basement was exhumed (and cooled) in response to the Late Cretaceous/Paleogene orogenic collapse followed by orogen-parallel extension. This is supported by 70 to 60 Ma old zircon fission track ages. Extensional tectonics were replaced by transpression to transtension during the Late Paleocene to Eocene (TS-2; ~80-45 Ma). TS-3 (~45-20 Ma) is documented by thick Oligocene-lowermost Miocene sediments of the Central Carpathian Paleogene Basin which kept the underlying Tatric crystalline basement at elevated temperatures (ca. >120 °C and <200 °C). The TS-4 (~20-7 Ma) is linked to slow Miocene exhumation rate of the Tatric crystalline basement, as it is indicated by apatite fission track data of 9-12 Ma. The final shaping of the Tatra Mts has been linked to accelerated tectonic activity since the Pliocene (TS-5; ~7-0 Ma).

“…The representative utmost isochores (solid lines -outliers neglected) shown have been calculated using the computer program Flincor (Brown 1989) with equation of state by Zhang & Frantz (1987). due to variations in pressure which typically fluctuates between lithostatic and hydrostatic one during formation of the crack-seal veins (Hurai et al 2002). We can assume a decrease of temperature of parent solution during precipitation of granular calcite from the V2 vein.…”

Hydrothermal mineralization hosted by the Lower Cretaceous igneous rock of the teschenite association at Jasenice (Silesian Unit, Flysch Belt, Outer Western Carpathians) occurs in two morphological types -irregular vein filled by granular calcite and regular composite vein formed by both fibrous and granular calcite and minor chlorite, quartz, and pyrite. Crosscutting evidence indicates that the granular veins are younger than the composite vein. The composite vein was formed by two mechanisms at different times. The arrangement of solid inclusions in the marginal fibrous zone suggests an episodic growth by the crack-seal mechanism during syntectonic deformation which was at least partially driven by tectonic suction pump during some stages of the Alpine Orogeny. Both the central part of the composite vein and monomineral veins developed in a brittle regime. In these cases, the textures of vein suggest the flow of fluids along an open fracture. The parent fluids of both types of vein are characterized by low temperatures (Th =66-163 °C), low salinities (0.4 to 3.4 wt. % NaCl eq.), low content of strong REE-complexing ligands, and δ 18 O and δ 13 C ranges of + 0.2/+12.5 ‰ SMOW and -11.8/-14.1 ‰ PDB, respectively. The parent fluids are interpreted as the results of mixing of residual seawater and diagenetic waters produced by dewatering of clay minerals in the associated flysch sediments. The flow of fluids was controlled by tectonic deformation of the host rock.
