Paleomagnetic investigations of the basal Borove Formation in the Liptov Depression (Central-Carpathian Paleogene basin)

摘要

The results of the paleomagnetic investigation from 9 localities of the Central-Carpathian Paleogene basalBorove Formation in the Liptov Depression (Central Slovakia) demonstrate complicated tectonic evolution in the cen-tral area of the Western Carpathians. The eastern rotations are predominant in the southern and western rotations in thenorthern margins of the Liptov Depression. Paleodeclinations vary from 92° to 269° and paleoinclinations from 7° to59°. The dextral and sinistral fault systems explain different values of paleorotations in relatively closely situatedlocalities. The obtained results generally support the model of tectonic escape from the south-west to north-east direc-tion. Low inclination in some localities offers various explanations.
