“…The north-eastern area of Fruška Gora is characterized by the presence of transcurrently right faults where the distribution of local values of the stress field is controlled by the local fault structures. The significant displacement magnitudes and the significant strain parameters, obtained here, are correlated to the reactivated existing structures which have been recognised in earlier geological and geophysical studies (Marović et al, 2007;Matenco and Radivojević, 2012;Toljić et al, 2013). It is important to say that the geodetic methods of deformation analysis used here provide mainly geometric information about the changes having occurred, where the interpretation of results and identification of causal forces belongs to other kinds of research, such as neotectonic ones, so that geophysical.…”

“…The recent earthquake on the area of Italy is in favor of numerous studies asserting that the Adriatic Block appears as the main compression transmitter for the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, which to a large extent affects the tectonics of the Central European Region, especially that of the Pannonian Basin. In the Fruška Gora area, the exhumation of the metamorphic core of the mountains occurred along the major faults with E-W orientation (Toljić et al, 2013;Sušić et al, 2016). The present results are in favour of significant point displacements on the northwestern and northeastern slopes of Fruška Gora, which are detected by applying deformation analysis methods (CDA and robust methods).…”

“…The Middle Triassic onset of Neotethys opening was associated with intermediate and basic volcanism and the formation of the Adriatic passive continental margin [ Pamić , ; Schmid et al , ]. Transition from dominantly carbonatic Upper Triassic facies into more pelagic Middle Jurassic facies indicates a gradual deepening of the former Adriatic passive margin from the SW to NE in the present‐day geometry [e.g., Dimitrijević , ; Schefer et al , ; Toljić et al , ]. The subsequent early Middle Jurassic intraoceanic subduction [ Schmid et al , ] was followed by the Late Jurassic‐Earliest Cretaceous emplacement of ophiolites and associated Jurassic ophiolitic mélange during their obduction over the eastern Adriatic passive margin (i.e., the Western Vardar ophiolites) [ Dimitrijević , ; Karamata , ; Pamić , ; Babić et al , ; Schmid et al , ].…”

The transition zone between the Alps and Dinarides is a key area to investigate kinematic interactions of neighboring orogens with different subduction polarities. A study combining field kinematic and sedimentary data, microstructural observations, thermochronological data (Rb‐Sr and fission track), and regional structures in the area of Medvednica Mountains has revealed a complex polyphase tectonic evolution. We document two novel stages of extensional exhumation. The first stage of extension took place along a Late Cretaceous detachment following the late Early Cretaceous nappe stacking, burial, and greenschist facies metamorphism. Two other shortening events that occurred during the latest Cretaceous‐Oligocene were followed by a second event of extensional exhumation, characterized by asymmetric top‐NE extension during the Miocene. Top‐NW thrusting took place subsequently during the Pliocene inversion of the Pannonian Basin. The Cretaceous nappe burial, Late Cretaceous extension, and the Oligocene(‐Earliest Miocene) contraction are events driven by the Alps evolution. In contrast, the latest Cretaceous‐Eocene deformation reflects phases of Dinaridic contraction. Furthermore, the Miocene extension and subsequent inversion display kinematics similar with observations elsewhere in the Dinarides and Eastern Alps. All these processes demonstrate that the Medvednica Mountains were affected by Alpine phases of deformations to a much higher degree than previously thought. Similarly with what has been observed in other areas of contractional polarity changes, such as the Mediterranean, Black Sea, or New Guinea systems, the respective tectonic events are triggered by rheological weak zones which are critical for localizing the deformation created by both orogens.

“…This was followed by emplacement of the fore‐arc region of the overriding lithosphere of the Vardar Ocean onto the Adria continental margin in the Early Cretaceous (∼130 Ma) [e.g., Schmid et al ., ]. Subsequent to their emplacement, the Adria continental domain including the passively overlying ophiolites became involved in collision with Eurasian continental units leading to nappe stacking and rethrusting of the ophiolites during the late Cretaceous and Paleogene [ van Hinsbergen et al ., ; Schmid et al ., ; Toljić et al ., ].…”

Serpentinization of ultramafic rocks during hydrothermal alteration at mid-ocean ridges profoundly changes the physical, chemical, rheological, and magnetic properties of the oceanic lithosphere. There is renewed interest in this process following the discovery of widespread exposures of serpentinized mantle on the seafloor in slow spreading oceans. Unroofing of mantle rocks in these settings is achieved by displacement along oceanic detachment faults, which eventually results in structures known as oceanic core complexes (OCCs). However, we have limited understanding of the mechanisms of serpentinization at the seafloor and in particular their relationship with the evolution of OCCs. Since magnetite is a direct product of serpentinization, the magnetic properties of variably serpentinized peridotites can provide unique insights into these mechanisms and their evolution in the oceanic lithosphere. Here we present new results from an integrated, rock magnetic, paleomagnetic, and petrological study of variably serpentinized peridotites from the first fossil OCC recognized in an ophiolite. Integration with existing data from mid-ocean ridge-related abyssal peridotites recovered from several scientific ocean drilling sites yields the first magnetic database from peridotites extending across the complete range (0-100%) of degrees of serpentinization. Variations in a range of magnetic parameters with serpentinization, and associated paleomagnetic data, provide: (i) key constraints on the mechanism(s) of serpentinization at mid-ocean ridges; (ii) insights on the potential for serpentinized peridotites to contribute to marine magnetic anomalies; and (iii) evidence that leads to a new conceptual model for the evolution of serpentinization and related remanence acquisition at OCCs.
