Base ment struc ture of the Pa leo zoic Plat form in Po land. Geo log i cal Quar terly, 61 (2): 502-520, doi: 10.7306/gq.XXXX The Pa leo zoic Plat form com prises the south west ern half of the Pol ish ter ri tory, sep a rated from the Pre cam brian East Eu ropean Plat form (EEP) by a NW-SE trending subvertical lithospheric-scale dis con ti nu ity -the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone. In the pres ent study, the Pa leo zoic Plat form base ment is sub di vided based on geo log i cal and geo phys i cal ev i dence ac quired dur ing the last de cades, in clud ing deep seis mic re frac tion and re flec tion re sults, as well as grav ity, mag netic and magnetotelluric data. The units ad ja cent to the EEP, the Mid-Pol ish Do main (com pris ing the £ysogóry Block) and the Pom era nian Block, are char ac ter ized by a thinned three-layer EEP-type crys tal line crust (age 1.7-3.7 Gy). Their old est plat form cover is prob a bly com posed of thick Ediacaran syn-rift sed i men tary and vol ca nic rocks. Their west ern ex ten sion in the contig u ous Ger man and Bal tic area can be traced as far as the East Elbian Mas sif and Thor Su ture based mainly on mag netic anom aly pat terns. The Up per Silesian and Ma³opolska blocks lo cated in SE Po land are char ac ter ized by Cadomian (660-600 My) base ment over lain by the thick de formed Ediacaran foredeep de pos its. Whereas the units with the EEP-type base ment are in ter preted as prox i mal ter ranes dis placed along the EEP mar gin dur ing the late Early Pa leo zoic, the blocks with a Cadomian base ment are con ceived as ex otic ter ranes of a pos si ble Gondwanan prov e nance. All these ter ranes were accreted ul ti mately dur ing the fi nal, lat est Si lu rian stages of the Cal edo nian de for ma tion al though the ex act sce nario of the amal gam ation re mains hy po thet i cal. The Sudetic Do main in SW Po land is a col lage of dif fer ent crustal units jux ta posed ul timately in the Penn syl va nian (ca. 310 Ma) dur ing the fi nal ep i sodes of the Variscan Orog eny. Their north ern bound ary cor responds to the Rheic Su ture trace able in mag netic and grav ity anom a lies pat tern along the north ern mar gin of the Wolsztyn-Leszno High, and con tin u ing west wards along the Mid-Ger man Crys tal line High. The ar cu ate trace of the su ture in the NE is dextrally dis placed along the Odra Fault, and con tin ues south wards where it is mapped as the Moravian-Silesian Su ture.

“…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 significant role of strike-slip faulting during the inversion of the Polish Basin was suggested by e.g., Dadlez (1994), from analysis of the offsets of the folds, salt diapirs or synsedimentary grabens on geological maps; by Krzywiec (2000Krzywiec ( , 2002Krzywiec ( , 2009b and Krzywiec et al (2003Krzywiec et al ( , 2009, from the analysis of seismic profiles across the fault zones; and by Gutowski and Koyi (2007) from results of three-dimensional (3D) analogue models.…”

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.
