Paleogene Tokaren conglomerate (Zdiar): Deep-water vs. terrestrial origin

摘要

Tokaren conglomerate, cropping out on the foothill of Belianske Tatry Mts. near village Zdiar, is a member of Late Eocene-Oligocene Huty Formation and represents a part of the sedimentary fill of the Inner-Carpathian Paleogene Basin. The lithologically conspicuous sediments have been descri-bed (and interpreted) by several geologists. Passendorfer (1958) considered them as alluvial fan deposits while Andrusov (1965), based on their geometry, interpreted them as deep--sea sediment. The idea was later developed by Marschalko and Radomski (1970) who brought evidence suggesting the origin of the conglomerates in the submarine canyon. This interpretation was confirmed by sedimentological studies of Janocko and Jacko (1998, 2003) and Janocko (2002).
