SOURCES OF MAGNETIC ANOMALIES IN THE PRE-TERTIARY BASEMENT OF EASTERN SLOVAKIA (CZECHO-SLOVAKIA)
Abstract
Quantitative interpretation of magnetic anomalies,the sources of which lie in the Inner Carpathian subjacent rocks in eastern Slovakia, have made it possible to determine probable locations of these sources in a geological section. Derived aeromagnetic maps have provided information on areal distribution of these specific rocks partly underlying near-surface neovolcanic complexes. Petrophysical studies of rock drillcore samples have shown that the magnetic anomalies are caused by variously serpentinized (lizardite, chrysotile) peridotites resembling highly serpentinized spinel peridotites present in a number of tectonically confined bodies of the Meliata Group. The above-mentioned common characteristics make us assume mutual genetic relationships between these rocks, and their common spatial as well as temp oral origin during the formation of the "Meliata-Vardar" oceanic crust.
