Tectonics of the Checiny Anticline (Holy Cross Mts., central Poland) in the light of new cartographic data and calcite vein analysis (reply)

摘要

In our paper (Jurewicz and Stepien, 2012) we proposed a simple method for extension magnitude estimation and we demonstrated the presence of an anticline to the south of the Rzepka Syncline. Mastella et al. (2013) challenge our newly found outcrops of Cambrian rocks and their interpretation. Cambrian rocks at point "B" (Jurewicz and Stepien 2012: fig. 2A), which could indicate the location of the anticline axis, were uncovered in earthworks excavated during the fencing-off of a gas station by the E7 motorway in 2006. Notwithstanding two tiny dip symbols pointing to south-dipping Devonian strata, can be seen in Czarnocki's (1938) map south of Rzepka with help of a magnifying glass. This map had been produced before stone began to be exploited in Korzecko Quarry at Rzepka Hill - thus when numerous Devonian exposure were scattered across the area. Both Mastella et al. (2013) and many others before them (e.g., Hakenberg, 1973; Konon, 2006; Jurewicz and Stepien, 2012) have not noticed these dip symbols on Czarnocki's (1938) map.
