“…A more detailed discussion of the Tertiary palaeogeographic and kinematic history of the ALCAPA and TiszaDacia blocks can be found in numerous earlier studies (e.g. Balla 1987; Royden & Baldi 1988;Sȃndulescu 1988;Csontos 1995;Csontos et al 1992;Fodor et al 1999;Fügenschuh and Schmid 2005).…”

The Tertiary kinematic history of the Maramures area is constrained by integrating thermochronological (fission track and (U-Th)/He analysis) data with field-based structural investigations. This study focuses on the tectonic evolution of the northern rim of the TiszaDacia block during collision with the European margin. Cretaceous nappe stacking, related metamorphism as well as Late Cretaceous exhumation are evidenced by zircon fission track data.

“…1). By the Oligocene-Early Miocene, the Alcapa Megaunit escaped northeastward from the Alpine collision zone (Kázmér & Kovács 1985;Csontos et al 1992;Fodor et al 1998;Haas et al 2000). The total 350-400 km present day offset can be attributed to the Paleogene to MidLate Miocene extension, lateral extrusion and counter-clockwise rotation of the Alcapa Megaunit (Tari 1996; Csontos & Fig.…”

Abstract:A combined fluid inclusion, fluid inclusion plane, lead isotope and K/Ar radiometric age dating work has been carried out on two lead-zinc mineralizations situated along the Periadriatic-Balaton Lineament in the central part of the Pannonian Basin, in order to reveal their age and genetics as well as temporal-spatial relationships to other lead-zincfluorite mineralization in the Alp-Carpathian region. According to fluid inclusion studies, the formation of the quartzfluorite-galena-sphalerite veins in the Velence Mts is the result of mixing of low (0-12 NaCl equiv. wt. %) and high salinity (10-26 CaCl 2 equiv. wt. %) brines. Well-crystallized (R3-type) illite associated with the mineralized hydrothermal veins indicates that the maximum temperature of the hydrothermal fluids could have been around 250 °C. K/Ar radiometric ages of illite, separated from the hydrothermal veins provided ages of 209-232 Ma, supporting the Mid-to Late-Triassic age of the hydrothermal fluid flow. Fluid inclusion plane studies have revealed that hydrothermal circulation was regional in the granite, but more intensive around the mineralized zones. ) form a tight cluster indicating similar, upper crustal source of the lead in the two mineralizations. The nature of mineralizing fluids, age of the fluid flow, as well as lead isotopic signatures of ore minerals point towards a genetic link between epigenetic carbonate-hosted stratiform-stratabound Alpine-type lead-zinc-fluorite deposits in the Southern and Eastern Alps and the studied deposits in the Velence Mts and at Szabadbattyán. In spite of the differences in host rocks and the depth of the ore precipitation, it is suggested that the studied deposits along the Periadriatic-Balaton Lineament in the Pannonian Basin and in the Alps belong to the same regional scale fluid flow system, which developed during the advanced stage of the opening of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. The common origin and ore formation process is more evident considering results of large-scale palinspastic reconstructions. These suggest, that the studied deposits in the central part of the Pannonian Basin were located in a zone between the Eastern and Southern Alps until the Early Paleogene and were emplaced to their current location due to northeastward escape of large crustal blocks from the Alpine collision zone.Key words: Triassic, Velence Mts, Szabadbattyán, Periadriatic-Balaton Lineament System, lead isotopes, fluid inclusions, Alpine-type epigenetic lead-zinc mineralization.netic at Recsk and in the Velence Mts) is clearly or apparently controlled by the repeated reactivation of this fault system.Along the eastern segment of the PABL, in the central part of the Pannonian Basin two Paleozoic, allochthonous complexes, the Szabadbattyán Block and the Velence Mts crop out. The western part of the Velence Mts is built up of early Permian monzogranite, which is the host of vein-type fluorite-galena-sphalerite-calcite mineralization (hereinafter basemetal-fluorite veins). The near-by (30 km) Szabadbattyán Block is com...

“…This lithospheric fragment broke off from the southern margin of Variscan Europe during Jurassic times. After complicated drifting and rotation it took its present position during the Early Miocene (Balla 1986;Csontos et al 1992;Horváth 1993). This pre-Neogene basement crops out only in two relatively small, isolated mountains in South Transdanubia -the Mecsek and Villány Mts.…”

Abstract:The Pennsylvanian-Cisuralian late-orogenic and post-orogenic paleoenvironments of the Circum Pannonian Region (CPR) include tectono-stratigraphic sequences developed from the Upper Bashkirian-Moscovian marine early molasse stage up to the Guadalupian-Lopingian post-orogenic stage, with gradual connection to the beginning of the Alpine (Neotethyan) sedimentary cycle. Shallow marine siliciclastic or carbonate siliciclastic overstep sequences started in the internal part of the Variscan orogenic belt during the latest Serpukhovian and Bashkirian-Moscovian. They overlapped unconformably the variably metamorphosed Variscan basement, or weakly deformed and metamorphosed foreland and syn-orogenic flysch sediments of Mississippian to Early Pennsylvanian age. The post-Variscan rifting largely affected the Variscan orogenic belt by reactivation of the Variscan lithosphere. The late-to post-orogenic terrestrial sequences started within the internal part of the Variscan orogenic belt during the Middle/Late Pennsylvanian. It continued gradually to terrestrial-shallow water carbonate-siliciclastic sequences in its external part through the Permian. According to the present configuration, the Alpine (Neotethyan) northward shifting transgression started during the Guadalupian/Lopingian in the South and during the Early Triassic in the North.
