The Tribe? Mts. is a significant morphostructure of crystalline basement protruding from beneath Mesozoic and Neogene sediments. With respect to geological composition is divided into two parts. The Rázdiel part is situated on northeast side and comprises the Tatricum, Veporicum, and Hronicum tectonic units. The Tatricum and Fatricum units are presented in the Zobor part which is located on southwest. Kinematics and tectonic evolution of the Tatricum tectonic unit were the objects of study in the Zobor part of the Tribe? Mts. The Tatricum unit contains cover sedimentary sequence in stratigraphic range from the Early Triassic to Early Cretaceous. The crystalline basement comprises granitic rocks affected by mylonitization. Four main tectonic events took place since the Cretaceous to the Neogene. The first phase of ductile deformation (Late Cretaceous) is characterized by mylonitization of granitic rocks, folding and thrusting of the cover sequence with the sense of movement top to the NW. During the second phase (Cretaceous/Paleogene) steep mylonitic/shear zones within the granitic rocks were generated in a?sinistral transpression with semi-ductile to ductile conditions. The third phase (Palaeogene) is characterized by tectonic unroofing which was realized on normal listric faults in semi-brittle conditions. In the final phase of the deformation evolution (Neogene) were generated normal faults separating the Tribe? horst structure against to Neogene depressions.
